Verse
We headed out to California everybody tried to warn us
` ' '
Said we wouldn't make it any further than that worn out Chevy would
We broke down a time or two thought maybe we didn't think it through
` `
We were all we had to turn to when it wasn't lookin' good
Pre-chorus
Lookin' back laughin' 'cos they called us crazy
Chorus
We were young we were wild we were restless
Had to go had to fly had to get away
Took a chance on that feelin' ba-by
We were lovin' blind borderline reckless
We were livin' for the minute we were spinnin' in
` ` ` `,
Maybe we were a lot of things but we weren't
RE-INTRO:

Most of the F-chords have no third (A-note), instead there is a G-note which
drones through almost every chord. This makes fingering of the changes easy.
For C to Fsus2 the middle-finger shifts along the 4th-string and the thumb
adds the bass-note. For Fmaj9 the little-finger lifts off the 1st-string.

Lead-lick is a familiar 'double-rhumba' rhythm pattern where the
sixteenths are grouped as 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 thus 123 123 123 123 1234
Cross-picking with accented upstrokes will achieve the right 'feel'.
= hammer-on
= down-pick
u = up-pick
Electric plays distinctive accents:
