Biography:
Stanley Allison Rogers (November 29, 1949 – June 2, 1983) was a Canadian folk musician and songwriter.
Rogers was noted for his rich, baritone voice and his traditional-sounding songs which were frequently inspired by Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially those from the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces and, later, the farms of the Canadian prairies and Great Lakes. Rogers died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33.

C G
Now it's getting so I'm mad when someone says your name
Dm Am
'Cause I've had to say good-bye to friends who couldn't stay away
F C Am
And sometimes it felt so wrong to never want to lean on you
Dm G C
You may stand tall, but I've got two feet too
C G
Now they talk of you in bars around a quiet beer
Dm Am
Tell their tales of mind-gone stones where no one else can hear
F C Am
And later on outside, they say they're getting on a plane
Dm G C
To fly away, leaving you again
Am G
California, my friends all call you home
Dm Am
And if you take away another, I'll be that much more alone
F C Am
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
Dm G C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
C G
Now in a few more years, I won't remember what it was to play
Dm Am
The music of old friends who need to live so far away
F C Am
But can I once taste Northern waters, then forsake them for the South
Dm G C
To feel California's ashes in my mouth
Am G
California, my friends all call you home
Dm Am
And if you take away another, I'll be that much more alone
F C Am
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
Dm G C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
Am G
California, my friends all call you home
Dm Am
And if you take away another, I'll be that much more alone
F C Am
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
Dm G C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
Dm G C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
Now it's getting so I'm mad when someone says your name
