Chorus:
G                      Dmaj7
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
          G                                             Dmaj
Where the days are longer, the nights are stronger than moonshine
G                   Dmaj7   F#m
 You're gonna go, I kno-----w

          Em                   F#m
Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
        Em                 F#m
And the day surrounds your daylight there
Em                 F#m
  Season's crying, no despair
    Em             F#m                G
Alligator, lizards in the air, in the air
