[Intro] Am  C

Am
You try to drown your sorrows
                   C 
You shouldn't have taught them how to swim
                F     C    G         Am
And now you are right back where you began 
Am
Winter skies approaching 
    C
All alone in the wasteland
             F C  G
Alone is the only way
                  C
That they let you in

                Am
So drink all my wine 
           F
Cut all my trees 
                C
Make love on my beaches 
             G
Smoke all my weed 
          Am
I am california
          F
Can't you see
             C
Wherever you roam
       G           C
You'll always want me

( C  Am )

Am
We struggle with our lovers
               C
We don't know what to let in 
           F   C    G                    Am
'Cause the new ones pay for the old ones sins
Am
Blinded by your shadows
C
Faded on your love
                   F    C   G
You don't know how deep you are
                         C
Till' you get pulled back up 

( Am C F C G )

                Am
So drink all my wine 
           F
Cut all my trees 
                C
Make love on my beaches 
             G
Smoke all my weed 
         Am
I am california
          F
Can't you see
             C
Wherever you roam
          G        C
you'll always want me
                Am
Yeah dig all my gold 
                F
Soak in my springs
           C
Conquer my mountains 
                   G
If that's what you need
         Am               F
I am California can't you see
             C
Wherever you roam
         G         C
You'll always want me

                   D7
You'll always want me
                   F
You'll always want me
                   C    G F C
You'll always want me
