Chord/Tab song: California

California by Joey Ryan

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I couldn't find the tab to this song anywhere online, so I decided to make one.
This is my first tab, but sounds correct to me. Chords came from leonpheltz on
Youtube; he says to capo 5th fret.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Chords are a mostly repeated F C Am G, F C Am G C
At certain parts the last Am could be replaced by F, but Am works too.

[F]California, California

[C]Know I love you, California

[Am]When I leave, I know you wait for [G]me

Cause in the s[F]un and in the weather

No one e[C]lse has loved me better

[Am]California y[G]ou're the place for [C]me

[F]Los Angeles, Los Angeles

[C]My heart goes out to you and if

[Am]I make it back I'd love to drive aro[G]und

Cause your s[F]treets are wide and dirty

You'd have ra[C]ised me in a hurry

You?re the c[Am]ity with the [G]angels, yes ind[C]eed

[F]San Francisco, San Francisco

[C]Always busy, you're always pretty

[Am]I can see you just across the [G]bay

Your red b[F]ridge over the sea

Keeps me s[C]afe and warm and free

On a c[Am]lear day, there's no p[G]lace I'd rather [C]be

[F]In the mountains, in the mountains

[C]No one knows you like I do

And s[Am]ummer streams are knee deep in the s[G]now

Just l[F]ike the giving tree you have [C]made a man of me

Cause e[Am]veryone needs so[G]meplace beautif[C]ul

I think [Am]everyone needs s[G]omeplace beautif[C]ul

[F]California, California

[C]Know I love you, California

[Am]When I leave I know you wait for [G]me

Cause in the s[F]un and in the weather

No one e[C]lse has loved me better

[Am]California y[G]ou're the place for [C]me

[F]In the valley, in the valley

[C]Give me life and cradle me

The [Am]sun is setting as I drive ah[G]ead

So k[F]eep us and sustain us

Give us f[C]ood and love and I trust

[Am]That without you [G]we'd all soon be d[C]ead

[F]In the forest, all the trees

[C]You make a little child of me

[Am]How I long to know what you have s[G]een

All the p[F]eople who are gone

And all the o[C]nes who once were strong

Oh w[Am]on't you keep their f[G]ate from claiming [C]me

[F]In the oceans, in the sea

[C]We have seen eternity

How [Am]can I tell when you really e[G]nd

I i[F]magine that you lead to other w[C]orlds entirely

Where [Am]we can save ourse[G]lves and start ag[C]ain

Yes we [Am/F]need to save ourse[G]lves and start ag[C]ain

[F]California, California

[Am]Know I love you, California

[Am]When I leave I know you wait for [G]me

Cause in the [F]sun and in the weather

No one e[C]lse has loved me better

[Am]California y[G]ou're the place for [C]me

So n[F]urse me like a mother

Raise me s[C]trong just like my father

Let me [Am]wander off, discover who I [G]am

I'll have l[F]earned your deepest lessons

Gathered [C]up your finest blessings

[Am]Return to Calif[G]ornia once aga[C]in

Yes, I'll come [Am/F]home to Calif[G]ornia once aga[C]in

[F]California, California

[C]Know I love you, California

[Am]When I leave I know you wait for [G]me

Cause in the s[F]un and in the weather

No one e[C]lse has loved me better

[Am]California y[G]ou're the place for [C]me

Yes C[Am]alifornia y[G]ou're the place for [C]me

Cali[Am/F]fornia won't you s[G]ave a place for [C]me?
