Roger McGuinn    Russian Hill  written by Roger McGuinn/Jacques Levy

F#m               E                 D
Last night in the middle of a dream I started thinking bout Russian
F#m
Hill
                                        E
And Ferlinghetti with his Coney Island mind
D                   F#m                E   D       F#m
And you and me with some time to fill
F#m                  E
We ate in Chinatown we rode the cable car
D                           F#m
We did what tourists always do
F#m              E                     D                 F#m
But in the dream you were a movie star and I was someone too
                       E       F#m               E
Was that the two of us in love why did it end so soon
D                  C#m                D               C#m
I don't believe in fallin out of love I never met the man in the moon
D                   C#m          D                             F#m
If it's so hard to find the key  it's not the singer  it's the tune
F#m             E
Sun high in the California sky
D                                 F#m
We walked around the beach around Monterey
                      E                 D
True confessions in a Sausalito bar the windows
D                   F#m
Shinning across the bay
                         E
The age of innocence and searching in the dark
D                   F#m
For what we'd never seen
                          E                      D         F#m
And so we could taste the sweetness of our lives in bitter mescaline
                          E    F#m               E
Was that the two of us in love why did it end so soon
D                  C#m                D               C#m
I don't believe in fallin out of love I never met the man in the moon
D                  C#m           D                             F#m
If it's so hard to find the key  it's not the singer  it's the tune
