[Intro]
C G Am C G F
[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
[Instrumental]
G Am C G Am G
[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
[Instrumental]
G Am C G Am G
[Verse]
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
[Instrumental]
G Am C G Am G
[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
