Califonia chords by Stan Rogers

C                                Am
Now it's getting so I'm mad when someone says your name
G                                               C
'Cause I've had to say good-bye to friends who couldn't stay away
      F                             C
And sometimes it felt so wrong to never want to lean on you
     F                   G                 C
You may stand tall, but I've got two feet too

C                             Am
Now we talked of you in bars around a quiet beer
G                                           C
Tell their tales of mine-gone stones where no one else can hear
    F                                   C
And later on outside, they say they're getting on a plane
    F           G          C
To fly away, leaving you again

Am                          C
California, my friends all call you home
            G                          C
And if you take away another, I'll be that much more alone
      F                                  C
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
         F                G              C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes

C                                          Am
Now in a few more years, I won't remember what it was to play
G                                     C
The music of old friends who need to live so far away
     F                                  C
But can I once taste more than waters, then forsake them for the South
     F                 F          C
To feel California's ashes in my mouth

Am                          C
California, my friends all call you home
            G                          C
And if you take away another, I'll be that much more alone
      F                                  C
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
         F                G              C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes

Am                          C
California, my friends all call you home
            G                          C
And if you take away another, I'll be that much more alone
      F                                  C
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
         F                G              C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
         F                G              C
