Note: This is as close as I can get it (its pretty close!!!) but there might be a C
between the G major to Am chord
transition near the end of the verses and in the chorus, I can’t quite decide which way
sounds best. Play whatever works
for YOUR ears. As near as I can tell, the song is in the key of G.
Intro: Em G Em G
G
She's a warm summer breeze with bleach blonde hair
C
Like a fine red wine she can take you there
Am Em
She's a walk in the sand at sunset
G
She's the top pulled down on the 405
C
She'll take you higher than Humboldt sky
Am
She's an earthquake
Em
And you're the fault line
G Am G D C
So, when you feel the ground start movin' around
G Am D
Hold on tight you're in for a ride
Em G
'Cause she's so California
C Am D
She's a wild fire out of control headed for ya
G Am Em C
So, when you get burned, don't say I didn't warn ya
D Em G Em G
'Cause she's so California
G
She's a black Mercedes on Laurel and Vine
She's a low cut dress
C
She's a Hollywood sign
Am Em
She's a dead head on a Friday night
G Am G D C
Oh, and she's so cool breaking all the rules
G Am D
Rising star, she'll break your heart
Repeat Chorus
