Story behind the song
My version is mostly instrumental with all acoustic guitars playing rhythm and electric guitars doing the lead melody and electric bass. I sneak in a little vocal near the end.
Lyrics
If you're going to San Francicso Be sure to wear Some flowers in your hair If you're going to San Francisco You're gonna meet Some gentle people there For those who come To San Francisco Summertime Will be a love-in there In the streets of San Francisco Gentle people With flowers in their hair All across the nation Such a strange vibration People in motion There's a whole generation With a new explanation People in motion People in motion For those who come To San Francisco Be sure to wear Some flowers in your hair If you come to San Francisco Summertime Will be a love-in there If you come to San Francisco Summertime Will be a love-in there
