Ventura Blvd Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]
[C]I grew [G]up in this

[Verse 1]
city
My parents met [C]at Hol[G]lywood High
[F]My mother played in the
or[Em]ange groves
Until it [Am]stung her eyes
My father's father hunted [F]ducks
Near Ventur[D]a blvd
Which [G]was [C]2 dirt roads
[Am]As f[G]ar as you'd wa[C]nt t[Am]o go
[G]Now it's unre[C]cognizable
[Am]It's unrecognizable
[G][C][G][C][D][G]

[Verse 2]
I've been [C]driv
[G]ing on the freeway
That's what you do in LA
[F]That's how I got to my grandpar[Em]ents
In the [Am]olden days
Already covered [C]up with [F]asphalt
[D]and industry
[G]Where can we [C]go
[Am]As f[G]ar as we w[C]ant to[Am] go
[G]Down a lost dirt [C]road
We're [Am]unrecognizable
[G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]There's
a bird at my win[A]dow
I think she's [C]trying to [G]get in
[F]May[D]be she wants
to com[A]fort me
Cause she [C]knocks every time [G]that I [F]sing
Are there [Em]any places left that
we haven't been
Some [Am]patch of earth without
our impressions
[D]When I close my eyes
let the bird inside
[Cm]Does she recognize me?
Or am I [C]so [Am]unrecognizable
[G][C][D][G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
We all sprung from the water
And crawled up to the land
And [F]then began a history
[Em]Of the sins of[Am] man
[F]And accident
Or just [D]the cruelest plan
To [G]have so [C]much
[Am]And then[G] for what[C]
[Am]Just [G]covered [C]up
Until it's [Am]unrecogniz[G]able
[C][D][G][F][C][D][G][D]

[Verse 5]
There's a bird at my win[A]dow
I think she's [C]trying to [G]get in
[F]May[D]be she wants to comfort m[A]e
Cause she [C]knocks every time [G]that I [F]sing
Are [Em]there any places left that
we haven't been
Some [Am]patch of earth without
our impressions
[D]When I close my eyes
let the bird inside
[Cm]Does she recognize me?
Or am I so [Am]un recognizable
