California by Josh Ritter
California
Capo:2nd fret
C Dm
Going out to California
G C C/B Am7
Gonna let the water warm my clothes
Dm
I'm alone, but I'm not lonely
G Am7
Gonna trade the weather for the western coast
Dm G C C/B Am7
Don't cry, I'll be back and I'll bring the sun to shine
Dm G G7
In your eyes, on your shoulders
Sunset Boulevard, will strip for money
Mulholland is a long drag for the lonley hearts
Down along the imperial valley
Runs a river of homelessness and cinema stars
Don't say it's been down a hundred thousand times
'Cause this one is mine
So I will work for what work finds me
And I will take what comfort I can get
I'll be back when I'm good and ready
California doesn't seem to think I'm ready yet
It's alright, I'll be back and I'll bring the sun to shine
In your eyes, on your shoulders

Going out to California
Going to let the water warm my clothes
I’m alone, but I’m not lonely
Going to trade the weather for the Western Coast
Oh, don’t cry
I’ll be back and I’ll
Bring the sun to shine
In your eyes
On your shoulders
Sunset Boulevard will strip for money
And Mulholland is a long drag for the lonely hearts
And down along Imperial Valley
Runs a river of homelessness and cinema stars
Don’t say
The trip’s been done
A hundred thousand times
Cause this one
Is mine
So I will work at what work finds me
And I will take what comfort, oh, I can get
And I’ll be back when I’m good and ready
California doesn’t seem to think I’m ready yet
See Josh Ritter Live
Get tickets as low as $67
It's all right
I’ll be back and I’ll
Bring the sun to shine
In your eyes
On your shoulders
