Intro: Em  C 


  Em          C 
I took my few belongings, 
   Em            C        Em      C Em C 
We headed out to Pirate's Cove... 
      Em          C 
In my buddy's old Defender, 
   Em            C       Em     C Em C 
We ran until the gas got low... 

        C               G       D                          Em      C Em C 
We were flying close to heaven, Everything was starting to glow... 
Em           C       Em               C      Em      C Em C 
Drivin' into sunset, Rollin' cause we had to roll... 


Em             C 
I think he was a preacher, 
    Em             C        Em     C Em C 
But lord I can't recall his name... 
       Em             C 
He was running out of wind, 
     Em           C         Em    C Em C 
But talking to me just the same.  
        C                G        D                             Em    C Em C 
He said five 'll get you ten, But boy you've got to stay in the game. 
         Em            C                Em           C       Em       C Em C 
Yeah you got to let it ride,  Or you've only got yourself to blame... 

          Em             C 
We lost a wheel in Santa Cruz, 
      Em                C     Em      C Em C 
So we partied with some motel maids... 
   Em                  C           Em 
My friend said I don't like mine... 
   C                  Em      C Em C 
So what do you say we trade? 
          C           G       D                           Em      C Em C 
She was a part of my heart,   Now she's just a line in my face... 
            Em        C 
They let us go with a warning; 
           Em               C            C        C Em C 
Said 'We'd book you, but we don't have a case...' 

   Em                   C 
My friend said take her with you, 
   Em                   C    Em       C Em C 
To leave her here would be a crime... 
              Em          C 
But let's get outta Santa Cruz, 
      Em       C        Em     C Em C 
All I got is a Canadian dime. 

        C              G 
I got a friend in Mendocino,  
         D                        Em    C Em C 
And it's gettin' close to harvest time. 
            Em    C 
And she was kinda cute... 
Em          C        Em       C Em C 
If a little past her prime... 

       Em               C       Em C 
On the trip to Pirate's Cove... 
       Em               C       Em C 
On the trip to Pirate's Cove... 

Em           C         Em C 
Drivin' into sunset...  
Em           C         Em C 
Drivin' into sunset...
