Song: California
Artist: Mick Flannery
Album: White Lies
Okay so. This is California. I love this song. Great guitar in it. I called this
a chords tab because it is mostly chords but I'll tab out the intro and a fill.
Okay, Mick has a guitar style of using pick and his 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers. A
mix between picking and finger picking basically. So for this intro just use
whatever you find easiest.

Lady, come into my room,
Em Dsus4
I pretend I'm sleeping, half an eye on you,

Slow, you take of your clothes,
Em
You knew I was watching,

Said "How'd you like to show?'
D C
Then I told you I loved you
Fill
And you said yeah I know,

Babe I thought I could die

Before I'd ever let go.

Well, I fell under a spell

All the love you gave me

I took it from myself,

I wouldn't let you help me

Or look you in the eye,

I remember the day that we

Said our goodbyes,

Though I can't for the life of me

Remember why

G Bm
I, I was afraid of time,

I I didn't change me

I would fall behind,

And so, I went on the road,

On to California,
Dsus4
Here I am alone
D C
I know how to do right
Fill
But I've been getting it wrong,
D C
Now I'm sitting here hoping
Fill
I'll come back to form
