Verse 1:(you can leave out the slash chords, they´re just for adding a bit of sound on an acoustic)
G                                          /F#     Em
Take a drive, yeah baby, up the coast, on highway 101
G                                         Em
Pass Ventura, Santa Barbara, too, just as fast, as my motor runs
Got a pocket full of memories some happy some are sad
Got a girl standing by my side, through the good times and the bad.

Chorus 1:

                G                       Am
Listen to the Boulevard, listen to the falling rain
               C                        D                     G
I believe in love now, with all of its joys and pains, na na na

Verse 2(same chord progression as in Verse 1):


Sick boy, sick girl looking nice dressed up, on a saturday night
take a walk downtown for a while and chase the pale moonlight
i can still hear the mission bells and the train rolling through your town
gonna leave this world behind, we´re southern california bound


Chorus 2:

Take me to the boulevard, take me to the falling rain
i believe in love now, with all of its joys and pains
follow the palm trees under the california sun
i believe in love now, i think i can love again
