AAAA
[Chorus]
AC#mDE
Ooh it’s such a long, long way to Pasadena
A C#m D E / //// (extra beats on E chord)
Ooh it’s such a long, long way to Pasadena
[Verse 1]
C#mD
Where the dirt track meets the highway
C#mDE
And there ain’t, no time at all
DE
Just a world movin’ forward
DE
On a big black motored crawl
AD
And the drivers in their Chevrolets
AD
Ain’t got no time at all
AC#mDE
To find the lonely hikers way
A
It’s when I want'a say
[Chorus]
AC#mDE
Ooh it’s such a long, long way to Pasadena
AC#mDE
Ooh just to find some air that’s kind of cleaner
DEA
Pasadena town is where I’m goin’
[Verse 2]
C#mD
Why did they, cut Beales Rise
C#mD
To stage coach through Newhall
DE
For a Mustang pony car
DE
To muss up City Hall
C#mD
Now there’s a long freeway
C#mD
Where the desert used to be
AC#mDE
And there’s no way that you can hike it
A
Ooh you’ll see
[Chorus]
AC#mDE
Ooh it’s such a long, long way to Pasadena
AC#mDE
Ooh just to find some air that’s kind of cleaner
DEA
Pasadena town is where I’m goin’
[Bridge]
AC#mDE
Do,do,do,do,do,do do,do,do,do,do do
AC#mDE
Do,do,do,do,do,do do,do,do,do,do do
DEA
Pasadena town is where I’m goin’
DEA
There ain’t no other town, that I call home
(Up key to Bb)
[Chorus]
ABbDm7EbF
Ooh it’s such a long, long way to Pasadena (Ooh yeah yeah)
BbDm7EbF
Ooh it’s a long, long way to Pasadena
[Coda]
BbDm7EbF
Baby it’s a long, long way to Pasadena (Oh no my car won’t start)
BbDm7EbF
Ooh it’s such a long, long way to Pasadena
(Repeat last line and fade)
