From the 2009 album "One Fast Move or I'm Gone" w/Benjamin Gibbard
Capo 2
Settling down with warm glow woodstove and kerosene?
Peace you're looking for Peace you'll find
Em?
In the tangled mad cliffsides and crashing dark
of Big Sur
of Big 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
of Big Sur
of Big Sur
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
I see as much as doors will allow
?I’m a long way from the beat generation
?Here comes the nightly moth to his nightly death?
in Big Sur
in Big Sur
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
?
I’m just a sick clown and so is everybody else?
in Big Sur
in Big Sur
Verse Chords again, end on D
