Stan Rogers - Califonia

C Am
now it’s getting so i’m mad when someone says your name
G C
’cause i’ve had to say good – bye to friends who couldn’t stay away
F C
and sometimes it felt so wrong to never want to lean on you
F G C
you may stand tall , but i’ve got two feet too

C Am
now we talked of you in bars around a quiet beer
G C
tell their tales of mine – gone stones where no one else can hear
F C
and later on outside , they say they’re getting on a plane
F G C
to fly away , leaving you again

Am C
california , my friends all call you home
G C
and if you take away another , i’ll be that much more alone
F C
is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
F G C
like a child to home whenever darkness comes

C Am
now in a few more years , i won’t remember what it was to play
G C
the music of old friends who need to live so far away
F C
but can i once taste more than waters , then forsake them for the south
F F C
to feel california’s ashes in my mouth

Am C
california , my friends all call you home
G C
and if you take away another , i’ll be that much more alone
F C
is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
F G C
like a child to home whenever darkness comes

Am C
california , my friends all call you home
G C
and if you take away another , i’ll be that much more alone
F C
is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
F G C
like a child to home whenever darkness comes
F G C
like a child to home whenever darkness comes
