A A A A
[Chorus]
A C#m D E
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#m D
Where the dirt track meets the highway
C#m D E
And there ain’t, no time at all
D E
Just a world movin’ forward
D E
On a big black motored crawl
A D
And the drivers in their Chevrolets
A D
Ain’t got no time at all
A C#m D E
To find the lonely hikers way
A
It’s when I want'a say
[Chorus]
A C#m D E
Ooh it’s such a long, long way to Pasadena
A C#m D E
Ooh just to find some air that’s kind of cleaner
D E A
Pasadena town is where I’m goin’
[Verse 2]
C#m D
Why did they, cut Beales Rise
C#m D
To stage coach through Newhall
D E
For a Mustang pony car
D E
To muss up City Hall
C#m D
Now there’s a long freeway
C#m D
Where the desert used to be
A C#m D E
And there’s no way that you can hike it
A
Ooh you’ll see
[Chorus]
A C#m D E
Ooh it’s such a long, long way to Pasadena
A C#m D E
Ooh just to find some air that’s kind of cleaner
D E A
Pasadena town is where I’m goin’
[Bridge]
A C#m D E
Do,do,do,do,do,do do,do,do,do,do do
A C#m D E
Do,do,do,do,do,do do,do,do,do,do do
D E A
Pasadena town is where I’m goin’
D E A
There ain’t no other town, that I call home
(Up key to Bb)
[Chorus]
A Bb Dm7 Eb F
Ooh it’s such a long, long way to Pasadena (Ooh yeah yeah)
Bb Dm7 Eb F
Ooh it’s a long, long way to Pasadena
[Coda]
Bb Dm7 Eb F
Baby it’s a long, long way to Pasadena (Oh no my car won’t start)
