Big Sur Jay Farrar
From the 2009 album "One Fast Move or I'm Gone" w/Benjamin Gibbard
Capo 2
[D]Settling down with warm glow woodstove and [Em]kerosene
[G]Peace you're looking for Peace you'll find[D]
Em
In the tangled mad cliffsides and crashing dark
of Big [G]Sur
of Big [A]Sur
D Em
Rapturous ring of silence Pacific fury
G D
Flashing on the rocks the sea shroud towers
The innocence of health and stillness in the wilds[Em]
of Big[G] Sur
of Big [A]Sur
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jay_farrar/big_sur_crd.html )
Em G
This whole surface of the world as we know it now
Em G
Will be covered with the silt of a billion years in time
Verse chords for interlude
[D]I see as much as doors will [Em]allow
I’m a long way from [G]the beat generation[A]
[D]
Here comes the nightly moth to his nightly death
[Em]
in Big Sur[G]
in Big Sur[A]
D Em
The best thing to do is not to be false
G A
The rocks of the valley have left no howl of complaint
D Em
I’m just a sick clown and so is everybody else
in Big Sur[G]
in Big Sur[A]
Verse Chords again, end on D
