Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Here we go. [G]The uh, California Jam

[Verse 2]
One two three and
[G]
Heli[C]copter in from Los [F]Ange[G]les
Land [C]in Ontario
There's guys with cam[G]eras
[D]"Hey you
Can I get a quick [Am]interview?"
[G]

[Verse 3]
Beat- up stretch [C]limousine
to the speed[F]way[G]
In the [C]baking sun
Stay high [G]all day
Take to the [D]stage
Lords of the [Am]age[C]
Drums rolling like buf[G]falo [Am]down the plain

[Verse 4]
[C]
And I [G]am an oncom[Am]ing t[C]rain
[G]Me and the [Am]ghost[C]s of Birmingham
[G]Me and the ghosts of Birmingham

[Verse 5]
[G]
Light rigging [C]overhead, rainbow behind
[G]And the clo[C]udless sky
And the infinite [F]dis[G]tances
in my [F]mind[G]
Arms in the [D]air
Sun in my [Am]hair[G]

[Verse 6]
Rise like dan[C]cers, stick the [G]landing
Feel kind of beau[C]tiful
Everybody here is beau[F]tiful[G]
That's just how I [D]feel
And it's real
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[C]
Drums rolling like buf[G]falo
[Am]down [C]the plain
And I am [G]an oncom[Am]ing t[C]rain
[Em]Me and the g[Am]hosts [C]of Birmingham
[Em]Me and the ghosts [G]of Birmingham
