California Blues

[Intro ]

G 
Sittin' up here in a big house 
D 
LA goes on far as I can see 
G 
Got an old time feelin' 
D 
Somewhere down the line is calling me 
            C 
Been going' through the pages of my mind 
C 
Wonder what I think I'm gonna find 
            D 
It don't matter anyway 
C                      D                  
Tomorrow I'll be leavin' you, LA 

 
C                                          
California Blues, I know you well 
C                                                         
What the hell, you're nothin' new to me 
C                        G                       
California Blues, you can never tell 
D                               C 
Could be I loved her more than she could see 
 

 
G             
Now, I walked in here grinnin' 
           D                                      
I ain't winnin' but I'm leavin' like I came 
G 
I gambled with the love she gave 
       D                                          
And like a fool I did not know the game 
C                                                                                                      
But the closest thing to winning must be losin 
 

Outro 
C 
And now and then it gets so damned confusin' 
                    D 
But it don't matter anyway 
C                         D              
Tomorrow I'll be leavin' you, LA 
C                                          
California Blues, I know you well 
C                                                           
What the hell, you're nothin' new to me 
C                        G                       
California Blues, you can never tell 
D                               C                    
Could be I loved her more than she could see 
D                                        C  
Could be I wasn't what she wanted me to be
