Intro F

Verse 1
F
Oh California, if there's one thing I like to see

      C                        Bb
It's miles of asphalt boiling under the sun

                                   F
I'm rolling up my sleeves and I'll wait 


For the moon rise for any phase it's in

C
Pray I see no black dogs running 

     Bb (then strum muted strings)
And drive all night till the early morning

Chorus
F               Bb             F              C
Steer with the memories that swim around my head

F                 Bb                 F                    C 
Some are foolish, some so wise, and some just better off dead

       Bb    F      C  Bb       F
And I won't slow down

Verse 2
F
Oh California. One thing that I'll see

      C                         Bb
It's miles of blacktop burning under the gun

                                F
Running state to state and I'll wait 


For the sun rise and the calm before the storm

C
Pray I see no black dogs running 

     Bb (then strum muted strings)
And drive all night till the break of dawn 

Chorus
F                Bb           F               C
Steer with the memories that swim around my head 

F                 Bb                  F                    C
Some are foolish, some are wise, and some just better off dead

       Bb    F     C   Bb    F
And I won't slow down

Verse 3 
F
Oh California. You're where I need to be 

      C
I'm heading to your mountains

Through your rivers, on to your sea

And I'll make it only if I stay rolling 

     
From there don't care where I'm going

Break for food, smoke, and fuel

Come on 50 cent cup to burn up my throat

Steer with the memories, that swim around my head.
