Jolie Holland - "Goodbye California" chords
Start Jamming...
[E]
I'm premeditated in crime of a personal kind
I'm about to go [G] out of [B] my mind
I'm just about sick to death of taking breath
And walking this line [E] of mine
Now folks that know what's good for them are good at ignoring them
But I just can't put these [A] thoughts down
[B] I'm outright and abused and broken in pursuit
By this notion that follows [E] me around
My heart is hurting, my spirit's burdened
I feel like a liar [A] and a thief
[B] For taking air, for being here unwanted
I look for my [E] final release
Goodbye, goodbye California
Goodbye and I'll be [B] moving on
I sang you my songs, I know I'm wrong
Fair, they will, and I'll be [E] moving on
[B]
[E]
When I'm dead and gone, my immortal home
Will hold me in its bosom [B] safe and whole
No more desires will light their fires
Or disturb my [E] immaculate calm
And the birds of the air, and the beasts of the soil
And the fishes of the desperate [B] sea
Will know who I am and our substance will expand
As part of [E] everything
As part of everything, my God
As part of [B] everything
And the clouds will roll and the wind will blow
And the beautiful birds [E] will sing
Goodbye, goodbye California
Goodbye to your [B] waving trees
To your succulent wind
And all my friends, fair they will
Goodbye, so be it, [E] amen, [B] [E] amen
