Goodbye California Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I'm pre-meditating [D]crime
crime of a personal kind
I'm about to go out of my [A]mind
I'm just about sick to
death of taking breath
And walking this line [D]of mine

[Verse 2]
Now, [D]folks that know
what's good for them
Are good at ignoring them
But I just can't put these
[G]thoughts down
I'm [A]harrowed and abused
and broken and pursued
By this notion that follows me around
[D]

[Verse 3]
My heart is hurting, my spirit?s burdened
I feel like a liar an[G]d a thief
For [A]taking air, for being here
Unwanted, I look for my
[D]final release

[Verse 4]
[D]
Goodbye, goodbye, California
Goodbye and I?ll be mov[A]ing on
I sang you my songs, I know I'm wrong
Fare thee well and I?ll be

[Interlude 1]
moving on
[D]
[A]
[D]

[Verse 5]
When I'm [D]dead and gone
My immortal home will
hold me in its bosom
[A]Safe and cold, no more desires
Will light their fires or disturb
my [D]immaculate calm

[Verse 6]
And the [D]birds of the air and
the beasts of the soil
And the fishes of the [A]desperate seas
Will know who I am and our
substance will expand
As part of [D]everything

[Verse 7]
[D]
As part of everything, my God
As part of [A]everything
and the clouds will roll
And the wind will blow and the
beautiful birds [D]will sing

[Verse 8]
[D]
Goodbye, goodbye, California
Goodbye to your waving [A]trees
To you succulent wind and all my friends
Fare thee well, goodbye, so be it
Amen

[Outro 1]
Amen
[D][A][D]
