California Joni Mitchell
Sitting in a par[E]k in Paris France reading th[A]e news and it sure looks bad[F#]
They won't give peace a cha[B]nce, that was just a dream some of us had[E]
[E]Stole a lot of[A] lines to sing but I wouldn't want [F#]to stay here
It's too old and col[B]d and settled in its wa[A]ys here
A[A]h but Cal[(Asus4)]ifornia, Calif[E]ornia[C#] I'm coming home
[A]I'm gonna see the folks I dig[E], I'll even kiss a sunset [B]pig
Cali[Bsus4]fornia I'm coming h[E]ome
[E] [EaddA] [E] [Esus4] [E] [Esus4] [E]
[E]I met a redneck on a Grecian [A]isle, we did the goat dance very well[F#]
He gave me b[B]ack my smile but he kept my camera to sel[E]l
[E]Oh the rogue, [A]the red red rogue, he cooked good o[F#]melettes and stews
And I might have sta[B]yed on with him there, [A]but my heart cried out for you
C[A]alifornia[(Asus4)], Oh Californi[E]a I'm[C#] coming home
[A]Oh make me feel good rock and[E] roll band, I'm your bigge[B]st fan
C[Bsus4]alifornia I'm comin[E]g home RIFF
BRIDGE:
[E]Oh it gets so[F#] lonely [A] When you're walking [E] and the streets are full of[B] strangers
All the news of h[F#]ome you re[A]ad just give you the [B]bl[D]ues
B Bsus4 A Asus4 A B E (like intro) Esus4 E Esus4 E
Just give you the blues
[E]So I bought me a ticket I cau[A]ght a plane to S[F#]pain
Went to a pa[B]rty down a red dirt road[E]
[E]There were lot[A]s of pretty people there, reading R[F#]olling Stone reading Vogue
They said how long c[B]an you hang around, I s[A]aid a week maybe two
Just until my skin turns brown and then I'm going home
[A]To Califo[(Asus4)]rnia, Californ[E]ia, I[C#]'m coming home
[A]Oh, will you take me as I am,[E] strung out on another man[B]
C[Bsus4]alifornia I'm comin[E]g home RIFF
BRIDGE #2:
[E]Oh it gets so l[F#]onely [A] when you're walking[E] and the streets are full of[B] strangers
All the news of [F#]home you r[A]ead, more about the w[E]ar and the bloody[B] changes
O[F#]h will you take me as I [A]am, will you take me as I [E]am
Will you[B], will you take me as I[F#] am[A]
[E] [B] [F#] [A] [E] [B]
