California Bloodlines
by John Stewart
This tab is in G.
Capo 3rd fret to play along with Bb, 4th fret for B and 5th fret for C.
This little signature run �b bb b c b a g, b bb b c b a g, a aa a b a g a g-
can either be played as single notes- or �highlight � the notes while playing
the g-chord.
You can either try to copy John�s playing or follow my advice-
I love to play the song a little like John Hartford�s �Gentle on My Mind�
(come on, you know that one). Try it and see what you think.
Intro
(g) (D9) (g) (D9) (g)
Had (Gj7)I been (G6)born in (G)New York (D9)City,
a New York (D7)City girl I'd (g)know,
Oh, workin' (Gj7)in the (G6)concrete, (G)not the (D9)sunlight,
Livin' in the (D7)New York rain and (G)snow.
Oh, there's California Bloodlines in (D9)my heart,
And a California (D7)woman in my (G)song,
Oh, there's California Bloodlines in (D9)my heart,
And a California (D7)heartbeat in my (G)soul.
And just to (Gj7)think that I (G6)might have (G)never (D9)known you
If I had lived my (D7)life in Tennes(G)see,
But I really (Gj7)could have (G6)never (G)let that (D9)happen,
For you and Cali(D7)fornia are in (G)me.
Oh, there's California Bloodlines in (D9)my heart,
And a California (D7)woman in my (G)song,
Oh, there's California Bloodlines in (D9)my heart,
And a California (D7)heartbeat in my (G)soul.
Have you wondered (Gj7)where we (G6)were �fore (G)we were (D9)born,
Rollin' 'round the (D7)heavens like a (G)song?
Oh, I know it's (Gj7)then I (G6)saw the (G)big Si(D9)erras,
Saw a California (D7)sunrise comin' (g)on.
There's California Bloodlines in (D9)my heart,
And a California (D7)woman in my (G)song,
There's California Bloodlines in (D9)my heart,
And a California (D7)heartbeat in my (G)soul.
There's California Bloodlines in (D9)my heart,
And a California (D7)woman in my (G)song,
There's California Bloodlines in (D9)my heart,
And a California (D7)heartbeat in my (G)soul.
(D9) (g) (D9) (g)
