DROP D TUNING

INTRO: D  Em F#m G Em D

VERSE 1

D                       Em
Take a long drive with me
                                 D
On California one, On California one
                         Em
Take a long drive with me
                                 D
On California one, On California one

CHORUS

And the road a-winding goes
               Gm                     D
From golden gate to roaring cliff-side
                                        Gm                      D
And the light is softly low as our hearts become sweetly untied
              C G                 D
Beneath the sun of California one

VERSE 2

                        Em
Take a long dram with me
                                      D
Of California wine, of California wine
                        Em
Take a long dram with me
                                      D
Of California wine, of California wine

CHORUS

And the wine it tastes so sweet
        Gm                  D
As we lay our eyes to wander

And the sky, it stretches deep
           Gm                    D
Will we rest our heads to slumber
            C
Beneath the vines of California wine?
D           C   G                  D
Beneath the sun of California One

               D+
Annabelle lies, sleeps with quiet eyes
       G  Em     G    Em
On this sea-drift sun
                D+
What can you do?

And if I said, O it's in your head
       G  Em     G    Em
On this sea-drift sun
                D+
What can you do?

We're calling all bed wetters and ambulance chasers

Poor picker-pockets bring 'em in

We're lining up the light-loafers

And the bored bench warmers

Castaways and cutouts, fill it up

CHORUS

D/F#          G                       D
Come join the youth and beauty brigade

Nothing will stand in our way

BRIDGE

                   A       D            G
I figured I had paid my debt to society
   F#m                  Em        G
By paying my overdue fines at the Multnomah County Library, at

the library they said son, go join up
D           G                       D
go join the youth and beauty brigade'

Come join the youth and beauty brigade
D/F#          G                       D
Come join the youth and beauty brigade

Nothing will stand in our way
