California Girl Tab

Standard tuning:

This uses a capo on the 5th fret, but I like to play it without one, so I'll give you
the chords for playing it normally too, but I've written it with the chords played
using a capo.

 - 320033     ( - X32010)

Intro: 

Verse:

                 
She's walking away

                  
She's making a stand

                      
She's moving to a new life

                       
She's moving with a new man

                     
But I got news for her

                      
The kind that I can't say

                                       
Cause I came to my senses, just a little too late

                       
So I watched her drive away

                   
And I waved goodbye

                  
And as her tail lights fade

          
Into the night sky




Chorus:

                                / 
Say hey,      don't you leave me in LA alone

                                     /    
Lover please, turn that car around and come back home

                           /           
New York, such a beautiful city I'm sure

                                
Its just too far from my California girl.





And then back to the verse. Beautiful song, enjoy. Comments are welcome.
