Lana Del Rey - West Coast Guitar Cover and Solo ( with Lyrics )
Lana Del Rey ( Elizabeth Woolridge Grant ) is one of my favorite new artists. If she called to hire me, I would take the job in a heartbeat. Her music is deep, passionate, sultry, melancholic and complex. Her collaboration with Rick Nowels on this song is superb. When I first heard West Coast, I knew immediately that I would want to make a video to her song. I wanted to add her lyrics to the video for your enjoyment.
I played the rhythm guitar pretty much note for note with the exception of an additional guitar solo during the last 8 bars of the song. I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I enjoyed making it.

West Coast Lyrics:
Down on the West Coast, they got a sayin'
"If you're not drinkin', then you're not playin'"
But you got the music
You've got the music in you, don't you?
Down on the West Coast, I get this feeling
Like it all could happen that's why I'm leaving
You for the moment
You for the moment, boy blue
Yeah, you
You're flyng high at the show, I'm feelin' hot to the touch
You say you miss me and I always say I miss you so much
But something keeps me really quiet, I'm alive I'm a-lush
Your love, your love, my love
I can see my baby swingin'
His Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing
Ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love
I can see my sweet boy swayin'
He's crazy y Cubano como yo, my love
On the balcony and I'm saying
Move baby, move baby, I'm in love
I'm in love (i'm in love) (x2)
Down on the West Coast, they got their icons
Their silver starlets, their Queens of Saigons
And you got the music
You've got the music in you, don't you?
Down on the West Coast, they love their movies
Their golden gods and rock and roll groupies
And you got the music
You've got the music in you, don't you?
You push it hard, I pull away, I'm feeling hotter than fire
I guess that no one ever really made me feel that much higher
Te deseo, cariño, boy, it's you I desire
Your love, your love, my love
I can see my baby swingin'
