CG9Am
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.
CG9Am
Left me alone on an empty tube train, deep under the ground,
F7
While you were bathed in sunlight, high above the clouds.
DmGG7CEmF7
I needed you here to be-ee my sunshine in London town.
DmGG7CEmF7G (A B D)<--Bass notes
California's ha-ad more than its fair share.
Repeat Intro
CG9
You left me to these small skies, and to rain-soaked concrete,
AmF7C
To Morrissey and Robert Smith and complicated streets I know,
G9Am
On which you lost your patience and your way,
F7
The way you always did on steel grey rainy days.
DmGG7CEmF7
I needed you here to be-ee my sunshine in London town.
DmGG7CEmF7G (ABD) 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.
F7Am7
I guess that makes sense - they had their fill and then they moved away again.
F7Am7
You're not alone, we all sometimes use words that we don't understand.
F7Am7GG7
Your 'love' was only just skin deep and in the end it gave me cancer.
DmGG7CEmF7
You might've been my sunshine, but I'd rather have a rainy day.
DmGG7CEmFG (ABD)
California ge-ets just what it de--------serves.
Repeat Intro, finish on C (x32013)
