Notes

  1. Although the album liner notes list the songwriters as each of the individual Doors members,[3] guitarist Robby Krieger has been identified as the song's songwriter.[4] Lindsay Planer of AllMusic suggests Morrison was responsible for the lyrics ("Morrison’s poetic imagery holds up").[5]
