Big Sur Chords

[Verse 1]
  A                  D                A
        Behind the wheel against the road
         E              A
Next to you is central coast
             D                   A
The central thought within my mind
            E                Bm                  E
Is how to stay within these lines, but still be free
 
[Verse 2]
A                   D                A               E                   A
      Beneath the ground the giants sleep and maybe we're just in their dreams
             D              A
The setting sun with every turn
          E
Above the ground the oak trees burn
                        A      D     A
And they weep, for rain
 
[Chorus]
             E             A      D      A
And for this endless conversation
     E            A
Instigated by the stars
 
[Verse 3]
A            D               D
    A pocket knife and no guitar
       E              A
Coffee cup a deck of cards
       D               A
Corre corre, dashboard feet
           E                 A
Flashlight children by the stream
 
[Verse 4]
         D
A box of books
          A
A book of rocks
            E
One for the birds
            A
One for the knots
            D             A               E
That I will learn how to tie around this day
 
To keep my life
                   A      D      A
From sliding away
 
[Chorus]
          E             A       D      A
From this endless conversation
      E              A       D       A
Instigated by the stars
         E                 A      D      A
A little wood to keep it burning
      E              Bm
Fascinated by it all
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
A               D                   A
     The first awake will stoke the coals
          E             A
The early morning river roads
             D                 A
The last one in the swing will break
            E                   Bm          E
Stones will stack the kids will make those lines
 
[Verse 6]
A            D             A
   Rocks are boxing by the creek
          E                A
Again the lines begin to speak
           D           A                 E                Bm
Words are broken smoke signals that will lead us into the light
        E         A
Into it all and always
 
 
[Chorus]
          E             A       D      A
Always endless conversation
      E              A       D       A
Instigated by the stars
         E                 A      D      A
A little wood to keep it burning
      E              Bm  E
Fascinated by it all
      A
And always
