This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Road trippin' with my two favourite allies |

Fully loaded, we got snacks and supplies

It's time to leave this town

It's time to steal away

Let's go get lost

Anywhere in the U.S.A.

Let's go get lost

Let's go get lost Part A

Blue you sit so pretty

West of the one

Sparkle light with yellow icing

Just a mirror for the sun

Just a mirror for the sun

Just a mirror for the

Su-u-u-n

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for Part B

So much has come before those battles lost and won

This life is shining more forever in the sun

Now let us check our heads

And let us check the surf

Saying high and dry's Part A

More trouble than it's worth

In the sun

Just a mirror for the sun

Just a mirror for the

Su-u-u-n

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for Part B

In Big Sur we take some time to linger on

We three hunky dories got our snakefinger on

Now let us drink the stars

It's time to steal away

Let's go get lost

Right here in the U.S.A.

Let's go get lost Part A

Let's go get lost

Blue you sit so pretty

West of the one

Sparkle light and yellow icing

Just a mirror for the sun

Just a mirror for the sun

Just a mirror for the _|_

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for Part B

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for

Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for
