Wainwright - California guitar tab
Simple song.
A, E, A, E, A, E, A, E
A E A E
California, California
A E B7 A
You're such a wonder that I think I'll stay in bed
E A E
Big time rollers, part time models
A E
So much to plunder
B7 F#
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
B7 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 B7 A
A kind of crucifix around this munchkin land
A E A E
Up north freezing, little me drooling
A E B7
That's Entertainment's on at eight
F#
Come on Ginger slam
F# F#m
I don't know this sea of neon
F# F#m
Thousand surfers, whiffs of freon
B7 A E
And my new grandma Bea Ar - thur
A, E , A , E E7
Come on over
F#m B
Ain't it a shame that at the top
F#m B F#m
Peanut butter and jam they served you
F#m B
Ain't it a shame that at the top
Bm A Am
Still those soft skin boys can bruise you
E F#m B7
Yes I fell for a strea - ker
(instrumental verse)
F# F#m
I don't know this sea of neon
F# F#m
Thousand surfers, whiffs of freon
B7
Ain't it a shame
F#m B7
That all the world can't enjoy your mad traditions
F#m B7
Ain't it a shame that all the world
Bm A
Don't got keys to their own ignitions
Am E F#m B7 A E, A E,
Life is the longest death in California
A E B7 A E, A E
You're such a wonder that I think I'll stay in bed

So much to plunder that I think I'll sleep instead

You're such a wonder that I think I'll stay in bed
