California Teclado

	   
Capo on 2  
He picks the chords and uses a funky fingering for the G chord throughout the song. But just strumming sounds 
good too.  
Not 100% sure of the chords between the 2nd and 3rd Chorus... 
All tabs are relative the capo on the second fret. 

Intro: 


          G 
It was a beer and a burger 
         D 
a conversation and a kiss 
                Em 
that started a fire 
  G                                    D 
lead to a night of holding each other close 
                       Em 
through teardrops and desire 
  C                             Am 
two half broken people heading west  
                G 
shared a motel room 
 D                    Em 
killed a little emptiness 
 G                C 
morning came too soon 
        Am 
on the way 
        G 
to California 

Chorus: 
          C        C/A 
cant you hear California 
              G 
calling your name 
           C             C/A 
a siren's song once you hear it 
                G 
nothing is the same 
     D                 Em 
made ancient Spaniards sail 
      D                 C 
made Guthrie ride the rail 
Am        G 
ahhh California

      G 
that highway to freedom 
           D 
became a sweet lost weekend  
            Em 
for me and you 
   G                                  D 
a detour through the mountains up to Santa Fe  
                      Em 
with nothing much to do 
     C                           Am           
you said you're starting over in LA 
                       G 
now that he's cut you loose 
     D                Em 
I'm heading north of there 
            G                 C 
don't know why she left that way 
                        Am 
I might land in Santa Cruz 
     G 
California 


Chorus: 
          C        C/A 
Cant you hear California 
              G 
calling your name 
           C             C/A 
a siren's song once you hear it 
                G 
nothing is the same 
        D          Em 
Called Marilyn Monroe 
      D               C 
Made miners rush for gold 
Am        G 
ahhh California 


    C 
I know a year has come and gone 
      G 
and that you've probably moved on 
     Am                        D 
but girl your memory wont go away 
    C 
I know that this sounds crazy wrong 
    G 
but if you hear this song 
   Am                            D              
October first meet me in Morro Bay 


Chorus: 
          C        C/A 
Cant you hear California 
              G 
calling your name 
           C             C/A 
a siren's song once you hear it 
                G 
nothing is the same 
        D                 Em 
she's whispering soft and low 
 D                 C 
come and hold me close 
Am        G 
ahhh California 

in California
