[Verse 1]
Road trippin' with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town
It's time to steal away
Let's go get lost
Anywhere in the U.S.A.
Let's go get lost Let's go get lost
[Chorus]
Riff 1 Blue you sit so pretty West of the one Sparkles light with yellow icing Just a mirror for the sun Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These Smiling eyes are just a mirror for
[Verse 2]
So much as come before those battles lost and won This life is shining more forever in the sun Now let us check our heads And let us check the surf Staying high and dry's More trouble than it's worth In the sun
Just a mirror for the sun Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These Smiling eyes are just a mirror for
[Verse 3]
In Big Sur we take some time to linger on We three hunky dory's got our snakefinger on Now let us drink the stars It's time to steal away Let's go get lost Right here in the U.S.A
[Chorus]
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for These smiling eyes are just a mirror for Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for

This tab is based on the previous tab posted by Andres Suarez
It goes like this:
Riffs xa are different endings. Just play Riff x but with the ending of Riff xa.
The way you alternate Riffs 1 and 2 is given by a pattern. In the first and second sentence of the verse, you use Riff 1. In the third use Riff 2, and in the last use Riff 1 again.
Riff 1a is a different ending for the Riff 1 and it's in the first sentence of some verses. Start playing it from the chord "C"
So the final pattern is: -Riff 1a -Riff 1 -Riff 2 -Riff 1
Got it? It's not that hard It's also above the lyrics if you don't get it

This riff above is barely audible sometimes, especially the note between parenthesis. Maybe it's not played at all, but I've tabbed it because this is the note that should be there, if there really was one.
Don't cut the sound of this riff, keep all the notes sounding, even when you move your hand. That way you'll get the real sound of it: there's a slide from E to G (B string, 5/8 ) there's a slide from D and down (G string, 7\ ) I think that's what John plays, because it sounds neat
Riff 3a
E---------7-----------| B-----8-----8---------| G-------7-----7-------| D--0------------------| A---------------------| E---------------------| Riff 3a is also a different ending for Riff 3, and you'll see when to play each, above the lyrics.
This is kind of a solo (Riff 4, Riff 5, Riff 4, Riff 5a)
E--5----5----5---/--------11-\--8-\--5-\--2-----| B-----4----4-----/--13-\--10-\--7-\--4-\--1-----| G-----------------------------------------------| D--4----4----4---/--13-\--10-\--7-\--4-\--1-----| A-----------------------------------------------| E-----------------------------------------------| Riff 5a starts at the ending of Riff 5. You'll easily notice when.
End of solo
Riff 1b
E-----3----3---3------------------7-------------| B-------0----0-------5----4---4/8---------------| G----------------------0------------------------| D--2--2-----------------------------------------| A-----------------3--3----2---------------------| E-----------------------------------------------| This is played in the verse after the solo. It's a little variation, but it sounds good.
