[Verse]
C             G      Am
Some days the fog in Monterey
      C       G        Am                   F      C    Dm7  F  G
Comes blowing from the grove above and then tears away
    C                G        Am
The drifting patches lift and fold
      C       G                   Am       F    C    Dm7  F
Then sunlight cuts them, white and cold in Monterey
    G                         C
Fog comes, oh, then it tears away

[Verse]
    C         G     Am       G
The heartsick lover comes to stay
    C          G       Am                    F      C    Dm7  G
She leaves the one she loves behind and then tears away
C             G       Am     G
She walks the hill in sudden wonder
C      G       Am               F        C    F
Is she dead or just undone? She lost her way
     G                         C
Love comes, oh, then it tears away

          C           G       Am
Ooh, some nights this girl in Monterey
     C        G      Am               F      C    Dm7  F  G
Lies dreaming in her room above, then tears away
    C        G      Am
Her eyes are on her lover's face
   C           G           Am             F        C    Dm7  F
He smiles, and she can hardly wait, is it night or day?
          G                         C
Her dream comes, oh, then it tears away

[Verse]
    C        G         Am
But now that morning's on its way
    C        G              Am             F      C    Dm7  G
Too soon the dreamer's drowned in fog that tears away
    C           G        Am
The clouds that cover Monterey
      C     G          Am               F     C     Dm7  F
Crowd by as if they're here to say, "We never stay"
         G                          C
Then she comes, oh, then she tears away

[Outro]
          C        G      Am
Ooh, some days the fog in Monterey
      C       G        Am                   F      C    Dm7  F
Comes blowing from the grove above and then tears away
   G                         C
It comes, oh, then it tears away
