When I Get to California Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The[Em] path[D][G][D]
of least resistance
it is often taken, but
The path of least resistance
often ain't much but a front
You [Em]rarely get a second chance
to make a first impression
Could I [A]just lie down a while here
while we ride out this recession?
I've been [D]close enough to the edge today
to see how much was left
Oh, but I backed off some from there
because I tend to need my sense
For [Em]all intents and purposes,
the world we live in's real
Which [A]makes it hard to shrug it off
or fake the way you [D]feel
No [G]one ever sat me down
with [D]a, kid, let [F#m]me warn ya
Any[Em]way, I'll figure it out when
I get to Califor[A]nia[D]
Whatever she wants to talk about
will not be good,
I'll bet I'm only looking forward to it
cause it hasn't happened yet
What's [Em]a Junebug supposed to do?
Oh no, in June light rolls around
It's never [A]just his level
best
to keep his back up off the [D]ground
[G]No one ever sat me down
with [D]a, kid, let [F#m]me horn ya
Any[Em]way I'll figure it out when I get to Californ[A]ia[D]
[F#m][Em][A][D][Em]
[A][F#m][Em][A][Bm][Em]
[A][D]
That faded yellow roadside sign
says slow children in play
But I know as I've all grown up
and most have moved away
My [Em]sense of disassociation's
worse with every year
It's [A]hard to make much
sense of things,
although they're all un[D]clear
[G]No one ever sat me down,
did [D]they kid let [F#m]me warn ya?
[Em]Yeah, yeah, take me there when
I get to Cali[A]fornia[D]
When I get to California
