Chuck Ragan - 10 West

10 west – chuck ragan
i think this song sounds best with barre chords

intro F

verse 1
F
oh california , if there’s one thing i like to see

C A#
it’s miles of asphalt boiling under the sun

F
i’m rolling up my sleeves and i’ll wait

for the moon rise for any phase it’s in

C
pray i see no black dogs running

A# ( then strum muted strings )
and drive all night till the early morning

chorus
F A# F C
steer with the memories that swim around my head

F A# F C
some are foolish , some so wise , and some just better off dead

A# F C A# F
and i won’t slow down

verse 2
F
oh california . one thing that i’ll see

C A#
it’s miles of blacktop burning under the gun

F
running state to state and i’ll wait

for the sun rise and the calm before the storm

C
pray i see no black dogs running

A# ( then strum muted strings )
and drive all night till the break of dawn

chorus
F A# F C
steer with the memories that swim around my head

some are foolish , some are wise , and some just better off dead

F
oh california . you’re where i need to be

C
i’m heading to your mountains

A#
through your rivers , on to your sea

F
and i’ll make it only if i stay rolling

from there don’t care where i’m going

C
break for food , smoke , and fuel

A# ( then strum muted strings )
come on 50 cent cup to burn up my throat

chorus

steer with the memories , that swim around my head .

some are foolish , some so wise , and some just better of dead

and i won’t slow down
