Capo 5
Verse chord progression: A E A G C A
Chorus chord progression: E G A E G A C A

Verse 1:

A
Hair blowin in the hot wind

Time hanging from a clothes pin
                                        E
Theres no sorrow the suns not gonna help
                           A
Smell the leather of your new car

Drive through the desert after nightfall
                                 G       C      A     
Sleep on the shoulder keep the stars all to ourselves

Verse 2:

A
The kinda love that makes my back hurt

Wearing nothing but a T-shirt 
                                           E
Shes turning over on a mattress made of air
                             A
I close my eyes I see a staircase

Leading upwards into blank space
                           G      C        A
All of creation makes a sound to soft to hear

CHORUS:

   E           G                
So I remain between her legs
    A                      E
sheltered from all my fears
      G               A                 
While bikers glide by highway shrines 
      C                 A
Where pilgrims dissapear

Verse 3:
A
I know that troubles been your good friend

It kept you company on the weekends
                                                E
It kept you company even once your mind was made
                            A
But now its over and its finished

Yea a headaches all your left with
                           G       C      A
We're no differant I got debts I like to pay

Verse 4:
A                          
Well we should move to Saucalito

Livings easy on a house boat
                                             E
Let the ocean rock us back and forth to sleep
                                A
Wake in the morning with the sunrise 

Look in the water see the blue sky
                        G         C      A
As if heaven has been laid there at our feet

Chorus 2:
E              G
So we remain between these waves 
    A                      E
Sheltered for all our years
       G              A
While bikers glide by highway shrines
       C           G        A
Where pilgrims dissapear

OUT:
       C           G
Where time takes icebergs
       C           G                        
Where fields burn westward 
       C           G         A
Where pilgrims disapear
