when Jimi Hendrix was still alive,

turned on to the rock machine,

2. I remember in sixty-seven,
Am D
we
were into the flower-power heaven,
G Em
riding
up the Pacific coast highway,
Am D
winding
up in the Frisco Bay.

Like Ravi Shankar I played the
sitar,

Maharishi Yogi was my Guru
star.

3. Do you remember about Fritz
the Cat,
Am D
and Dylan’s Leopard skin pill-box hat,
G Em
Sergeant Pepper’s
lonely Hearts Club Band,
Am D
he’s
a rider thru the desert sand ?
B7 Em
Listen all of this makes me
blue,
Am D - D7
but
most of all you know I’m missing you.
