(Intro.)
|(D) / / / |(D) / / /

(Verse 1)
I (D)used to ride these highways as far as you could see
There were (G)miles of amber waves of grain, row crops of emerald green
(A)Now you're just a wasteland (G) of dust and broken dreams (D)
And all that's (A)left are memories

(Chorus)
(G)Goodbye California, you still got my heart
This (D)view of you in my rearview is tearinf me apart
The (G)place I fell in love with ainft the place you are today
So (A)goodbye California, (G) wish that I could stay (D)

(Verse 2)
(D)First time that I saw you, there was beauty in your dreams
I (G)thought that we might make it, never thought I'd have to leave
I (A)prayed for hope and change, gave you a second chance
Can't (D)say that I don't love you, but I've (A)sure enjoyed this dance

(Chorus)
(G)Goodbye California, you still got my heart
This (D)view of you in my rearview is tearinf me apart
The (G)place I fell in love with ainft the place you are today
So (A)goodbye California, (G) you seem so far a-(D)way / / / (D) / / /
Oo, oo, (G)oo, oo, oo, oo, (D)oo

(Bridge)
When (A)workinf hard, hardly works
Can't (D)keep up with the dollar
(A)Even when it's free
You (G)can't afford the water - - -

(Outro.)
(G)Goodbye California, look at the mess you made
Would've (D)done anything for ya, but you left me betrayed
The (G)tears keep fallinf down, watchinf you go up in flames
(A)Goodbye California (G)
(A)Goodbye California (G) - - -
(G)Hope you come back some-(D)-day / / / (D) - - - - -
