Monterey

[Verse 1]

The people came and listened

Some of them came and played

Others gave flowers away

Yes, they did

Down in Monterey

Down in Monterey

[Verse 2]

Young gods smiled upon the crowd

Their music being born of love

Children danced night and day

Religion was being born

Down in Monterey

[Bridge]

The Byrds and the Airplane did fly

Oh, Ravi Shankar's music made me cry

The Who exploded into fire and light

Hugh Masekela's music was black as night

The Grateful Dead blew everybody's mind

Jimi Hendrix, baby, believe me

Set the world on fire, yeah

His majesty, Prince Jones

Smiled as he moved among the crowd

Ten thousand electric guitars

Were groovin' real loud, yeah

If you wanna find the truth in life

Don't pass music by

And you know I would not lie

No, I would not lie

No, I would not lie

Down in Monterey

Alright!

[Verse 3]

Three days of understanding

Of moving with one another

Even the cops grooved with us

Do you believe me, yeah?

Down in Monterey

Down in Monterey, yeah

Down in Monterey

Down in Monterey, yeah

[Interlude]

I think that maybe I'm dreamin'

[Outro]

Monterey, Monterey

Down in Monterey

Did you hear what I said?

Down in Monterey

Monterey

I said Monterey, Monterey

Monterey, yeah, yeah

Monterey

Ow, Monterey...
