California Withered Hand
Recording on 'New Gods' is Capo 3.
During the verse, both the Am and C have a pull off/hammer on on the B string, first fret. The Em has
a similar variation on the G string, second fret.
Lyrics should be correct except for the line that sounds like "I keep slipping on the tossing like
I'm sick again." I have no idea what he says there!
[Am]After the longes[C]t night
[Em]Stepping out int[Am]o a new daylight
[Am]Beer ice cold in[C] my hand
[Em]Like Iâ??m on my way, l[Dm]ike I had
[Am]Plenty not to ta[C]lk about
[Em]Stopping for a burger at the in-and-out, waiting[Am] in line
[Am]For the [C]prophecy
[Em]How we took our turns to[Dm] be
[Am]Strung out like some powder in a[C] bag of skin
[Em]Last night I could have [Am]sworn I was dying
[Am]Cicadas singing at my wi[C]ndow, signs
[Em]Proclaim the end is nig[Dm]h
But not [C]tonight[Em]
[Am]Californ[C]ia, ooh
[Em]I keep slipping on the t[Am]ossing like Iâ??m sick again
[Am]Ooh white light white [C]heat all night
Heart [Em]beating in my chest like a k[Am]ettle drum
[Am]Californ[C]ia, ooh
[Em]I keep slipping on the to[Am]ssing like Iâ??m sick again
[Am]Ooh white light white [C]heat all night
Heart [Em]beating in my chest like a [Am]jackhammer
[Am]What of the unfinished s[C]ymphonies
Immigration [Em]infamies, my head rings like the l[Am]iberty bell
[Am]Sweating like a winner on a [C]hot day
Sinner, say [Em]what, say nothing if youâ??v[Dm]e nothing to sell
[Am]Every time I open up my [C]mealy mouth
This tiny wee [Em]sound comes out, Iâ??m spitting i[Am]t out in the doubt
[Am]I hear my heart like a b[C]ack-beat
Something [Em]incomplete, no midnight [Dm]choir
No l[Am]ove over des[Em]ire
Chorus x 2
Just add some horsewhip sound effects and that's it! Hope you enjoy!
