California Chords

         C                               G
Now it's getting so I'm mad when someone says your name
            Dm                                 Am
'Cause I've had to say goodbye to friends who couldn't stay away
    F                                   C                Am
And sometimes it felt so wrong to never want to lean on you
    Dm                   G             C
You may stand tall, but I've got two feet too
 
         C                             G
Now they talk of you in bars around a quiet beer
Dm                                         Am
Tell their tales of mind-gone stones where no one else can hear
    F                                  C              Am
And later on outside, they say they're getting on a plane
   Dm            G            C
To fly away, and live in you again
 
Am                          G
California, my friends all call you home
            Dm                         Am
And if you take away another, I'll be that much more alone
      F                                  C              Am
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
         Dm                G              C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
 
C                                          G
Now in a few more years, I won't remember what it was to play
Dm                                    Am
The music of old friends who need to live so far away
     F                                  C                        Am
But can I once taste Northern waters, then forsake them for the South
     Dm                 G          C
To feel California's ashes in my mouth
 
Am                          G
California, my friends all call you home
            Dm                         Am
And if you take away another, I'll be that much more alone
      F                                  C              Am
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
         Dm                G              C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
 
Am                          G
California, my friends all call you home
            Dm                         Am
And if you take away another, I'll be that much more alone
      F                                  C              Am
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
         Dm                G              C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
         Dm                G              C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
