[Verse 1]
[Em]On the road to n[G]owhere
Every [D]day was just [A]the same
[Em]So, I took my be[G]longings
And [A]hitchhiked no more to [B]blame
[Em]To California[G]
In the [D]warm summer [A]of love
[Em]All my l[D]ife, I've [Bm]been searchi[Em]ng
All my [D]life, I've [Bm]been searching
[Em]

[Verse 2]
I came to a cross[G]road
[D]Where a stranger gazed [A]and spoke
[Em]He was looking kinda pecu[G]liar
In a [A]purple colored [B]cloak
[Em]He wore a to[G]ken
[D]Never seen be[A]fore
He said, [Em]"All my [D]life,
I've been [Bm]searching"
[Em]"All my life[D], I've been [Bm]searching"
[Em]Sunset

[Verse 3]
[Am]in S[D]outhern Californ[Bm]ia[Em]
And the [Am]morning seems so far,
[D]so far [G]away
[Am]Sunset [D]in Southern Cali[Bm]forni[E]a
In the [Am]distance,
there's [D]the light of San [Em]Diego

[Verse 4]
[Em]I came to his temple[G]
At [D]noon the second [A]day
[Em]It was a lot of mumb[G]ling
In the [A]shadows did they [B]pray
[Em]Feeling kind [G]of dizzy
A [D]gong struck and people [A]chant
[Em]"All my [D]life, I've [Bm]been searching"
[Em]"All my life[D], I've been [Bm]searching"
[Em]Sunset

[Verse 5]
[Am]in S[D]outhern Californ[Bm]ia[Em]
And the [Am]morning seems so far,
[D]so far [G]away (And it seems so far, so far away)
[Am]Sunset in So[D]uthern Californi[Bm]a[E]
In the [Am]distance,
there's [D]the light of San [Em]Diego[E]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Then, a kind of le[G]ader
Ap[D]peared in fume [A]and smoke
[Em]All dressed in silver[G]
An au[A]thoritarian [B]bloke
[Em]He turned around and talked to m[G]e
With a [D]demagogic [A]voice
[Em]"All my [D]life, I've [Bm]been searching"
[Em]"All my life[D], I've been [Bm]searching"
[Em]Sunset

[Verse 7]
[Am]in S[D]outhern
Cali[Bm]forni[Em]a
And the [Am]morning seems so far,
[D]so far [G]away (And it seems so far, so far away)
[Am]Sunset in So[D]uthern Californi[Bm]a[E]
In the [Am]distance,
there's [D]the light of San [G]Diego
In the [Am]distance,
there's [D]the light of San [G]Diego[Em]
In the [Am]distance, there's [D]the light of San [G]Diego
