INTRO


G                D/F#                 Em    C
She lived at the end of a little dirt road,
G                D/F#         Em     C
In a house where secrets go untold.
G             D/F#
Barefoot in a cotton dress,
Em             C
Dark hair in a tangled mess,
G                  D/F#  C
And a head full of crazy dreams.
D
She'd say,


G   D/F#         C   
I'm going to California,
G                 D/F#       C
A place where the sun always shines.
G        D/F#         C
Well I'm going to California,
       Am       D          G       D/F#   C
And I'm leaving everything behind.


G                  D/F#                   Em       C
You can't help but feel just a little bit touched,
G               D/F#                   Em    C
When your Daddy loves you a little too much.
G               D/F#
You can wish on four-leaf clovers,
Em                      C
But all the fields have been plowed over,
           G                 D/F#        C    
And there's  nothing left to do but fly away.
D
She'd say,


G   D/F#         C   
I'm going to California,
G                 D/F#       C
A place where the sun always shines.
G        D/F#         C
Well I'm going to California,
       Am       D          G
And I'm leaving everything behind.


    Am              G
The stars burn like candles,
        C            Am  G
On that two lane highway.
    Am              G
She made a wish and disappeared,
       D
On her 18th birthday.

She'd say,


G   D/F#         C   
I'm going to California,
G                 D/F#       C
A place where the sun always shines.
G        D/F#         C
Well I'm going to California,
       Am       D          G       
And I'm leaving everything behind.

And I'm leaving everything behind.
