   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.
