Album: The Guitar Song


INTRO: C

       C                             F          C
Well I pulled off the gravel with my California dreams
                                  G
Leavin' everything I ever loved behind
     C                     F               C
Well I left Alabama but it never once left me
                        G            C
And it's still the only refuge in my mind


CHORUS:
       C                               F          C
'Cause where you gonna be when half of California riots
                          Bb    F  G
Where you run to when the lights go out
       C                           F               C
Well I won't be hangin' out in California, I won't try it
              G             C
Buddy I'll be up and headed south


All the women here look perfect and it hardly ever rains
And for some folks here I'm sure it's paradise
I'll dabble with the fortune, rub elbows with the fame
But I'll be damned if this is where I'm gonna die


CHORUS


SOLO


I never thought I'd get to see the inside of a limosine
Or a beauty shop on south Rodeo Drive
Or bein' sucked into a world where things are seldom what they seem
Makes you wonder how you'll make it out alive


CHORUS

                 G             C
Ah buddy I'll be up and headed south


OUTRO (repeat): C  F  C  G  C  F  C  G  C
