Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Prelude:
     A                           D
In a motel with a bouquet in the ice pail
        A                       D
You can tell them I'm doing OK, doing real well


Verse 1:
         F#m                A
I've got six strings in the morning
    E                        D
The rain danced on the roof last night
F#m               A
Moon rose without warning
         E                 D
Took its time crossing the sky

Verse 2:
        A                                   D
I could tell you about lonely roads and the high way
        A                                  D
I could warn you about the trouble and the time it takes
    A                       F#m            D       F#m
But California woke up this morning with a sweet refrain


Chorus 1:
F#m                    A
Yellow sun beat on the window
    E                              D
The light cut straight through the blinds
       F#m                A
It was love that broke my sorrow
         E               D
Like the day breaks the night


Instrumental:
E  A
D  A  (x3)


Chorus 2:
F#m                    A
Yellow sun beat on the window
    E                              D
The light cut straight through the blinds
       F#m                A
It was love that broke my sorrow
       E            D    A
Like a day breaks a long night


Outro:
     A                           D
In a motel with a bouquet in the ice pail
        A                             D
You can tell them I'm doing OK, doing real well
