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?
