  long live the magnetic fields

  B (x2444x@1)     E (022100@1)        F# (244322@1) tan and blonde and seventeen
  B (x2444x@1)             F# (244322@1)       B (x2444x@1) eating non-food keeps them mean
              E (022100@1)            F# (244322@1) but they're young forever

                B (x2444x@1) if they must grow up
             Ab (xx1114@1)      E (022100@1) they marry dukes and earls
             F# (244322@1)    B (x2444x@1) I hate California girls

  B (x2444x@1)                        F# (244322@1)   B (x2444x@1) they breathe coke and they have affairs
            E (022100@1)                F# (244322@1) with each passing rock star

            B (x2444x@1) they come on like squares
           Ab (xx1114@1)       E (022100@1) then get off like squirrels
             F# (244322@1)   B (x2444x@1) I hate California girls

  B (x2444x@1)              Ab (xx1114@1)          E (022100@1)             F# (244322@1) B (x2444x@1)    
 (with riff)
  
  then Bridge:
  G (320003@1)                A (x02220@1) Looking down their perfect noses
  F#m (244222@1)        G (320003@1) at me and my kind
  G (320003@1)              A (x02220@1) do they think we won't-
            E (022100@1) well nevermind
  G (320003@1)                    A (x02220@1) laughing through their perfect teeth
     F#m (244222@1)      G (320003@1) at everyone I know
  G (320003@1)              A (x02220@1) do they think we won't 
             E (022100@1) get up and go
  F# (244322@1) so
  B (x2444x@1)               F# (244322@1)    B (x2444x@1) I have planned my grand attacks
         E (022100@1)     F# (244322@1) I will stand behind their backs
  B (x2444x@1)               F# (244322@1)    B (x2444x@1) with my brand-new battle-axe
            E (022100@1)        F# (244322@1) then will they taste my wrath?

            B (x2444x@1) They will hear me say
         Ab (xx1114@1)     E (022100@1) as the pavement whirls
              F# (244322@1)   B (x2444x@1) "I hate California girls.."
