Intro
C G9 Am
It finally came - the day when I had to take you to the airport
F7
And put you on a plane, and so you left me.
C G9 Am
Left me alone on an empty tube train, deep under the ground,
F7
While you were bathed in sunlight, high above the clouds.
Dm G G7 C Em F7
I needed you here to be-ee my sunshine in London town.
Dm G G7 C Em F7 G (A B D)<--Bass notes
California's ha-ad more than its fair share.
Repeat Intro
C G9
You left me to these small skies, and to rain-soaked concrete,
Am F7 C
To Morrissey and Robert Smith and complicated streets I know,
G9 Am
On which you lost your patience and your way,
F7
The way you always did on steel grey rainy days.
Dm G G7 C Em F7
I needed you here to be-ee my sunshine in London town.
Dm G G7 C Em F7 G (A B D) C (let it ring)
California's ha-ad more than its fair share.
G6 (320000) Am
Of beating summer sun and shining seas,
F7
But it doesn't have a shred of honesty.
F7 (pick from now on like in intro)) Am7
I know the truth - yeah, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell were Canadians.
F7 Am7
I guess that makes sense - they had their fill and then they moved away again.
F7 Am7
You're not alone, we all sometimes use words that we don't understand.
F7 Am7 G G7
Your "love" was only just skin deep and in the end it gave me cancer.
Dm G G7 C Em F7
You might've been my sunshine, but I'd rather have a rainy day.
Dm G G7 C Em F G (A B D)
California ge-ets just what it de--------serves.
Repeat Intro, finish on C (x32013)
