California Chords & Lyrics by Rufus Wainwright
California
guitar chords lyrics
A E A E A E A E
A E A E
California, California
A E B
You're such a wonder that I think I'll stay in bed
A E A E
Big time rollers, part time models
A E
So much to plunder
B7
That I think I'll sleep instead
F# F#m
I don't know this sea of neon
F# F#m
Thousand surfers, whiffs of Freon
B A E
And big nights back east with Rhoda
A E A E B7
California please
A E
There's a moment
A E
I've been saving
A E B
A kind of crucifix around this munchkin land
A E A E
Up north freezing, little me drooling
A E
That's Entertainment's on at eight
B
Come on Ginger slam
F# F#m
I don't know this sea of neon
F# F#m
Thousand surfers, whiffs of Freon
B A E
And my new grandma Bea Arthur
A E A E B7
Come on over
F#m B
Ain't it a shame that at the top
F#m B
Peanut butter and jam they served you
F#m B
Ain't it a shame that at the top
F#m Am
Still those soft skin boys can bruise you
E F#m B7
Yes I fell for a streaker
A E A E A E B
A E A E A E B7
F# F#m
I don't know this sea of neon
F# F#m
Thousand surfers, whiffs of freon
B
Ain't it a shame
F#m B
That all the world can't enjoy your mad traditions
F#m B
Ain't it a shame that all the world
F#m Am
Don't got keys to their own ignitions
E F#m B
Life is the longest death in California
A E B A E
You're such a wonder that I think I'll stay in bed
A E
So much to plunder
B7 Am E
That I think I'll sleep instead
