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

                    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’

           C#m                    D
        To stage coach through Newhall

        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

        Ooh just to find some air that’s kind of cleaner

        Pasadena town is where I’m goin’
