Leaving La chords by Father John Misty

Chords with lyrics

Chord notes: The FF is played fairly quickly, just listen to get the strumming right. The C/GC/G is a standard C majorC
chord with the G+G note added on the low E, play the original root note too! Here is a what a Bdim7Bdim7 looks like.

[VERSE]
C/GC/G     FF   G+G
I was living on the hill,
            FF   C/GC/G
By the water tower and hiking trails,
             FF   G+G
When the big one hit I’d have a seat,
                    FF    C/GC/G
To watch masters abandon their dogs and dogs run free,
E minorEm     Bdim7Bdim7  A minorAm
O baby it’s time to leave,
     G+G             FF  C/GC/G
Take the van and the hearse down to New Orleans,
E minorEm             Bdim7Bdim7   A minorAm
Leave under the gaze of the billboard queens,
    G+G               FF     C/GC/G
5 foot chicks with parted lips selling sweatshop jeans.

C/GC/G            FF    G+G
These LA phonies and their bullshit bands,
              FF  C/GC/G
Sound like dollar signs and Amy Grant,
                    FF   G+G
So reads the pulled quote from my last cover piece,
              FF     C/GC/G
Entitled "The Oldest Man in Folk Rock Speaks”
E minorEm              Bdim7Bdim7  A minorAm
You can hear it all over the airwaves,
  G+G            FF   C/GC/G
The manufactured gasp of the final days,
        E minorEm              Bdim7Bdim7   A minorAm
Someone should tell them ‘bout the time that they don’t have,
       G+G            FF    C/GC/G
To praise the glorious future and the hopeless past.

The rest of the song follows this chord and strumming pattern, I'm not going to arbitrarily copy and paste it
for every line.
