G Em
She's the kind of girl that tans to brown
C/G D/A
freckles on her elbows and her knees
G Em
And I'm the boy that passes through these towns
C/G D/A
I leave before we find out what it means
(chorus)
C/G D/A
I'll send a letter addressed to you
G Em
it says you're my California brown and blue
C/G D/A
Another shore line gives into waves and fades away
G Em C/G D/A
(now various hammers are used at the end of each chord, like the B note of the G chord
the higher E note of the Em chord (relative to capo of course))
G Em
So I push through another hotel door
C/G D/A
and I pull back the bed sheets till they break
G Em
and I sleep so hard I don't even dream
C/G D/A
weightless in the arms of Golden Gate
C/G D/A
The only music I want to hear
G Em
is the sound of the last light left dissapears
C/G D/A
Another songbird gives up it's wings it fades away
(same chord structure and timing as verse)
G Em
dada dada dada
C/G D/A
dada dada dada
(chorus)
I'll send a letter addressed to you
it says you're my California brown and blue
Another shore line gives in to waves
it says your my California Golden Gate
The only music I want to hear is the sound of the last light that disapears
Another songbird gives up it's wings
and fades away
Another songbird gives up it's wings
and fades away
