10 West - Chuck Ragan
I think this song sounds best with barre chords
Intro F
Verse 1
[F]Oh California, if there's one thing I like to see
It's m[C]iles of asphalt boiling u[A#]nder the sun
I'm rolling up my sleeves and I'll [F]wait
For the moon rise for any phase it's in
[C]Pray I see no black dogs running
A# (then strum muted strings)
And drive all night till the early morning
Chorus
[F]Steer with the m[A#]emories that sw[F]im around my he[C]ad
[F]Some are foolish, [A#]some so wise, and s[F]ome just better off d[C]ead
And I w[A#]on't s[F]low dow[C]n[A#][F]
Verse 2
[F]Oh California. One thing that I'll see
It's m[C]iles of blacktop burning u[A#]nder the gun
Running state to state and I'll [F]wait
For the sun rise and the calm before the storm
[C]Pray I see no black dogs running
A# (then strum muted strings)
And drive all night till the break of dawn
Chorus
[F]Steer with the me[A#]mories that s[F]wim around my he[C]ad
[F]Some are foolish, [A#]some are wise, and s[F]ome just better off d[C]ead
And I w[A#]on't s[F]low do[C]wn [A#][F]
Interlude
[A#]Na na na na n[F]a na....[C]....
[A#]Na na na na n[F]a na.....[C]..
[A#]Na na na na n[F]a na....[C]....
[A#]Na na na na n[F]a na.....[C]..[F]
Verse 3
[F]Oh California. You're where I need to be
I'm he[C]ading to your mountains
[A#]Through your rivers, on to your sea
And I'll m[F]ake it only if I stay rolling
From there don't care where I'm going
[C]Break for food, smoke, and fuel
A# (then strum muted strings)
Come on 50 cent cup to burn up my throat
Chorus
[F]Steer with the m[A#]emories, that s[F]wim around my h[C]ead.
[F]Some are foolish, s[A#]ome so wise, and s[F]ome just better of d[C]ead
And I w[A#]on't s[F]low d[C]own [A#]
And I w[F]on't s[A#]low do[C]wn [A#][F]
