easy, jazzy version of led zeppelin classic

lyrics

going to california

spend my days with a woman unkind,
smoke my stuff and drink - all my wine.
made up my mind to make a new start,
going to california with an aching - in my heart
someone told me there's a girl out there
with love in her eyes and flowers - in her hair

took my chances on a big jet plane,
never let ‘em tell you that they're a-l-l the same.
the sea was red and the sky was grey;
i wonder how tomorrow - could ever follow today.
mountains and the canyons
start to tremble and shake
children of the sun begin to awake.

seems that the wrath of the gods
got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
i think i might be sinking.
throw me a line if i reach it in time
i'll meet you up there where the path
runs straight and high.

to find a queen without a king,
they say she plays guitar and cries - and sings...
ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
tryin' to find a woman
who's never, never, never been born.
standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
telling myself
it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.
