F# minorF#m


   F# minorF#m
I remember I was in the tanning salon

When I heard that River Phoenix was gone.

I wanna walk away L.A.
F# minorF#m       E MajorE   B minorBm
From the sharks and the chardonnay

F# minorF#m
Four in the morning, we were in our beds
B minorBm
The swaying palm trees above our heads
   E MajorE
Woke up to the primal rumbling sound
F# minorF#m
When the Northridge quake ripped open the ground

California
