Intro: C majorC E MajorE FF G+G (2x)


verse 1
         C majorC                    E MajorE
Getting high at a quarter to nine
         FF                            G+G
And you throwing all your favourite lines
          C majorC                              E MajorE
And that red-head said he's living with you
         FF                   G+G
And he copies everything you do...

         C majorC                      E MajorE
And you throw your California smile
         FF                         G+G
And you warn me this could take a while
         C majorC                         E MajorE
So while you think of something to do
     FF                           G+G
I'm thinking I could stick with you

              C majorC                       E MajorE
Cause you're great Alexander, you're great Alexander
        FF                    G+G
You've made up a name for yourself
               C majorC                    E MajorE
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander
        FF                    G+G
You've made up a name for yourself

Interlude
FF G+G


verse 2
      C majorC                       E MajorE
In a town at the edge of the Nile
       FF                    G+G
I can see that California smile
           C majorC                          E MajorE
There's a boat with your name on the side
         FF                        G+G
And it waits for the turn of the tide

      C majorC                     E MajorE
In between your Casino and mine
       FF                           G+G
I can see that there's a delicate line
             C majorC               E MajorE
And I can't tell our voices apart
             FF                   G+G
And I can't tell your life from art

           C majorC                  E MajorE
You're a ghost Alexander, at most Alexander
        FF                    G+G
You've made up a name for yourself
              C majorC                    E MajorE
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander
         FF                          G+G
You're still sitting there on the shelf...

Cause you threw me California

The Great California
