C        Em                Am  C
Cashmere hills filled with evergreens

        C        Em             Am       C
Flowin' from the clouds down to meet the sea

         Dm                     G
With the granite cliff (Big Sur mount)

         C          Em    Am     C
as a referee (dodododo, dodododo do)
[Verse 2]
C       Em          Am     C
Crimson sunsets and golden dawns,

  C      Em            Am      C
a mother deer with her newborn fawns

          Dm                     G
All under Big Sur skies (Big Sur mount)

                 C         Em      Am    C
That's where I belong (dodododo, dododododo)
[Bridge]
F                 C
Big Sur, I've got plans for you

C      Em       Am    C
Me and mine are going to

C      Em             Am   C
Add ourselves to your lengthy

        Dm              G
list of lovers (Big Sur mount)
[Verse 3]
            C       Em         Am         C
And live in canyons covered in springtime green

     C         Em            Am        C
Wild birds and flowers to be heard and seen

            Dm                  G
And with my old guitar (Big Sur mount)

                      C           Em    Am    C
I'll make up songs to sing (dodododo, dododododo)
[Verse 4]
      C        Em               Am      C
Where bubbling springs from the mountainside

         C       Em           Am   C
Join the Big Sur river to the oceanside

          Dm                     G
Where the kids can look (Big Sur mount)

                      C           Em    Am    C
For sea shells at low tide (dodododo, dododododo)
[Bridge]
F           C
Big Sur my astrology,

   C         Em   Am      C
it says that I am made to be

C         Em     Am       C
Where the rugged mountain meets

    Dm             G
the water (Big Sur mount)
[Verse 5]
             C           Em            Am  C
And so while stars shine brightly from up above

    C         Em           Am      C
The fog rolls in through a redwood grove

          Dm                  G
And to my dying fire (Big Sur mount)

                   C          Em    Am    C
I think I'll add a log (dodododo, dododododo)
[Outro]
     C       Em          Am  C
From time to time I must go away

    C           Em            Am     C
The thoughts of Big Sur won't let me stay

          C          Em      Am      C       N.C.
Away from Big Sur (dodododo, dododododo) Oh, Big Sur
