[Intro]
D  F#m  G  Bm  (x4)
 
[Verse]
D               F#m
Here comes Jean with the Green 
G                Bm
And his boots that jangle.
D                  F#m
He smiles wide and throws his eyes
G                Bm
Spinning lies that tangle.
D                  F#m
Have you ever been outside
G                  Bm
Of Baltimore county line?
D                       F#m
Could you tell me 'bout the sky at night
G                   Bm
Untouched by downtown's light?
D                  F#m
And everytime you hear the thunder
G                     Bm
Or you just pray for rain.
D                  F#m
Know one day the skies will clap
G                        A
And heaven's gonna have you name
 
[Chorus]
G                    D
Sing me songs of California.
G                       D
Take me dancing pretty momma.
G                         D
And you know I set out to warn ya
G                               A
This place is honey  but do you wanna?
 
[Verse]
D
You come soft  walking tall
G                Bm
With his popular gait.
D                           F#m
He wonders how  then takes his bow
G                 Bm
Outside midnight raves.
D                   F#m
Have you ever been outside
G                      Bm
Heading either north or south?
D                              F#m
Could you tell me 'bout the other side
G                     Bm
Of where the mouth lets out?
D                            F#m
And every time you feel the earth shake
G                   Bm
Oh you just do the same.
D                             F#m
Know one day the ground will open up
G                                A
And the devil's gonna have your name
 
[Chorus]
G                       D
Put me on a train to New York.
G                       D
Take me out to see the water.
G                           D
Oh and if its my time then so be it.
  G     D       G                 D
A head full of hate  grace  and sorrow.
G                             D
And all I ever wanted was to die with pride.
G                        A
You know I'm a soldier Adriana.
 
[Outro]
D                  F#m
Have you ever been outside
G                  Bm
Of Baltimore county line?
D                       F#m
Could you tell me 'bout the sky at night
G                   Bm
Untouched by downtown's light?
D                            F#m
And everytime you hear the thunder
G                     Bm
Or you just pray for rain.
D                           F#m
Know one day the skies will clap

Kevin plays it capo 2 key of C. You can hear it in the chorus when we goes to C and uses his pinky to play the extra notes on the 3rd fret
