California 1972 chords by Ryan Hurd

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: C

Verse 1:
F                        G
 Any state or any decade
             C
Any sunset, any bar
                 F       G
Any coast on any highway
                  C
Headed west to where you are


Chorus:
F
California 1972
                                Am
Would you find me, would I find you
Am
Smoking a cheap joint in the sand
G

Somewhere on Sunset in a band
F
Would we be us but just more free
F
Still chasing songs and chasing dreams
Am                            G
I don't know why, but I still know
                      F                           G
Just like time, we go on and on and on and on and on
      F
We go on


Verse 2:
C                    F
 Sleeping in a hotel lobby
G                 C          G
Swimming out to catch a wave
Am            F         G
If I saw you at a party
                        C
I know I'd have to know your name
Am         G          C          F          C
In another life, we'd sound just as good on vinyl
    F             C         G
And Kodachrome forever in a frame


Chorus:
F
California 1972
                                Am
Would you find me, would I find you
Am
Smoking a cheap joint in the sand
G
Somewhere on Sunset in a band
F
Would we be us but just more free
F
Still chasing songs and chasing dreams
Am                            G
I don't know why, but I still know
                      F                           G
Just like time, we go on and on and on and on and on
            Am G Fmaj7
Yeah, we go on


Bridge:
                         G
I picture you playing guitar
                  F
Somewhere in a canyon
                  G
I feel it in my heart
                  Fmaj7
Like it almost happened
                   G
Like it almost happened


Chorus:
F
California 1972
                                Am
Would you find me, would I find you
Am
Smoking a cheap joint in the sand
G
Somewhere on Sunset in a band
F
Would we be us but just more free
F
Still chasing songs and chasing dreams
Am                            G
I don't know why, but I still know
                      Fmaj7                       G
Just like time, we go on and on and on and on and on
