She's the kind of girl that tans to brown
                              
freckles on her elbows and her knees
                                            
And I'm the boy that passes through these towns
                                   
I leave before we find out what it means

(chorus)
                            
I'll send a letter addressed to you
                                      
it says you're my California brown and blue
                             
Another shore line gives into waves and fades away

   
(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))

                                
So I push through another hotel door
                                      
and I pull back the bed sheets till they break
                                 
and I sleep so hard I don't even dream
                               
weightless in the arms of Golden Gate

                     
The only music I want to hear
                                   
is the sound of the last light left dissapears
                            
Another songbird gives up it's wings it fades away

(same chord structure and timing as verse)
           
dada dada dada
         
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

End on G
