I've lived on sand a[F]nd felt the winter sea dew
And watched this country living wing on [Gm7]by
The [C]city lights grow closer to my garden
As [Gm7]many classic mo[C]ments ride on [F]high
And [F]young men they dream to ride the sunset
Content on evening smiles and weary [Gm7]bones
From [C]miles around they come to touch the legend
Saying [Gm7]goodbye to where [C]I come from this is [F]home
Chorus
[Bb]So long my [Am7]loved one, you've [Gm7]found somebody [F]fine
[Bb]They say you've gotten [Am7]married and [Gm7]toast the sweetest [F]wine
[Bb]Goodbye to you old [Am7]freeway [Gm7]405 I'm goin' [F]home
[Gm7]To let her waters caress themselves [C7]on me
I've [F]been traveling through this world restless searching
Seeking out the tides where time [Gm7]began
But [C]Lord, I swear I hear those calling waters
[Gm7]Beckoning this [C]life my ocean [F]friend
Chorus
[F]When I grow old and reminisce my fortune
Of why I left my loved ones far be[Gm7]hind
I lay my[C]self beside these calming waters
Where [Gm7]many classic [C]moments have gone [F]by
And watched this country living wing on [Gm7]by
The [C]city lights grow closer to my garden
As [Gm7]many classic mo[C]ments ride on [F]high
And [F]young men they dream to ride the sunset
Content on evening smiles and weary [Gm7]bones
From [C]miles around they come to touch the legend
Saying [Gm7]goodbye to where [C]I come from this is [F]home
Chorus
[Bb]So long my [Am7]loved one, you've [Gm7]found somebody [F]fine
