Going To California

Intro: C-G-D-G-C-G-D7-D-G-C-G

	G
He was	never there when needed

	C	Am
and	oh who much she	pleaded

	G	D
Saying	darling wont you stay home just one	time

	G	C	G
He'd just	smile and	say I'm	sorry

	C	Am
But	there's no need to	worry

	G	C	G
Just gonna	meet some	army	buddies

	D7	G
Drink some beer and	fight the	war.

	G
In the	kitchen making wishes

	C	Am
As she	tidies up the	dishes

	G
On an	other lonely weekend

	D7
And the wine she drank a	lone

	G	C	G
And the	nights they	hold no	pity

	C	Am
In the	cold of New York	city

	G	C	G
As she	waits there	in the	darkness

	D7	G
To hear his key turn	in the	door

	D	D7
She said I'm	going to Cali	fornia

	C	G
To taste the	sunshine and the	wine

	C	G
Sit be	side the rolling	ocean

	D7
And slowly pass the	time

	G	C	G
Reading	books and	old love	stories

	C	Am
And for	get about my	worries

	G	C	G
And	maybe	who knows	maybe

	D	D7	G
We'll	meet a	gain some	time.

Change key

	C
Then one	night he came home sober

	F	Dm
With a	longing just to	hold her

	C
When he	found the note she'd ]written

	G
Waiting by the tele	phone

	C	F	C
And she	said ''I'll a	lways	love you

	F	Dm
And	never will for	get you

	C	F	C	G7	C
Bit I	just can't	take this	lonely	feeling any	more''

	C
Now the	nights are cold and lonely

	F	Dm
And he	sits and watches	TV

	C
Drinking	beer and chasing whiskey

	G
Wondering where it all went	wrong

	C	F	C
And his	eyes are	tired and	burning

	F	Dm
From the	dreams that keet re	turning

	C	F	C	G7	C
And	all his	yester	days they	wont leave him a	lone

	G	G7
She said I'm	going to Cali	fornia

	F	C
To taste the	sunshine and the	wine

	F	C
Sit be	side the rolling	ocean

	G7
And slowly pass the	time

	C	F	C
Reading	books and	old love	stories

	F	Dm
And for	get about my	worries

	C	F	C
And	maybe	who knows	maybe

	G	G7	C
We'll	meet a	gain some	time.
