California chords by Kenny Chesney

INTRO

G        D/F#         Em  C
She lived at the end of a little dirt road,
G        D/F#     Em   C
In a house where secrets go untold.
G       D/F#
Barefoot in a cotton dress,
Em       C
Dark hair in a tangled mess,
G         D/F# C
And a head full of crazy dreams.
D
She'd say,

G  D/F#     C
I'm going to California,
G         D/F#    C
A place where the sun always shines.
G    D/F#     C
Well I'm going to California,
    Am    D     G    D/F#  C
And I'm leaving everything behind.


G         D/F#          Em    C
You can't help but feel just a little bit touched,
G        D/F#          Em  C
When your Daddy loves you a little too much.
G        D/F#
You can wish on four-leaf clovers,
Em           C
But all the fields have been plowed over,
      G         D/F#    C
And there's nothing left to do but fly away.
D
She'd say,


G  D/F#     C
I'm going to California,
G         D/F#    C
A place where the sun always shines.
G    D/F#     C
Well I'm going to California,
    Am    D     G
And I'm leaving everything behind.


  Am       G
The stars burn like candles,
    C      Am G
On that two lane highway.
  Am       G
She made a wish and disappeared,
    D
On her 18th birthday.

She'd say,


G  D/F#     C
I'm going to California,
G         D/F#    C
A place where the sun always shines.
G    D/F#     C
Well I'm going to California,
    Am    D     G
And I'm leaving everything behind.


G  D/F#  C  G  D/F#  C
INSTRUMENTAL


G  D/F#     C
I'm going to California,
    Am   D      G  D/F#  C  G D/F# C
And I'm leaving everything behind.
    G  D/F#  C  G D/F#
Oh, California.....

I'm..............going to California.
    G  D/F#  C

        G  D/F#  C
Leave it all behind.
  G D/F# C G D/F# C G
California......
