Chords for Kingston Trio live 1981 "Zombie Jamboree" "California/Sacramento"

_ _ We rehearsed this show on the way over.
Yes.
_ _ Came in two cars.
Yes.
_ [F#] _
[G] But we're starting to show a little bit. _ _
_ We started off singing an eucalyptus, so that's how we got the name Kingston.
And then we slowly but surely went into a folk type of material.
_ And to further confuse the matter, in 1959 we received [Am] a Grammy for being the best country and western group of the year.
So what did we know?
_ But this is a song we started off singing.
This song was written in 1939 by Lord and Vader and his 12 penetrators, which was a real name of an act group from down the island somewhere.
And Lord and Vader was a great calypso writer, and he wrote this song about a party he went to in Long Island in 1939.
And he wrote about the people he met there and the people he met at the party.
Very interesting song.
_ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ The same intro to all the songs.
_ _ _ Well [Em] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _

_ Here's [A] a song called California, or I'm going home.
It was written by a real hobo, _ who is probably now the president of Union Pacific for all I know. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ This has been a real fun thing for us to do, and _ it's very, very nice of you to come and to applaud and to have fun.
And thank you very much for being here.
Very nice.
It's been delightful.
[B] Thank you. _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ Thank you. _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well, no [Bm] matter where I [G] wander, I know I'll [A] always find a [D] welcome.
[Bm] At the end [F#m] of [F#] every journey, [G] _ there'll be friendly [A] _
people waiting.
[D] _ _ _ [Bm] California will not hold [G] me, though I love [A] her timber _ [D] mountains, work her fields [F#m] and work [Bm] her [G] orchards.
Up and down [A] her central [D] valleys, I have driven [Bm] _
open [G] highways, cross the Golden [A]
Utah Valley, [Bm] and I've watched the rivers [F#m]
gently [Bm] gliding [G] away my [A] hand on a brimly beam.
[D] _ _ California [B]
will not hold [G] me, though I [A] love her timber _ [F#m] mountains, work her fields and work her [G] orchards.
Up and down [A] her central valleys.
[D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ [Bm] _ _ Folks who know me call me a drifter.
[G] They don't [A] know I'll stop my rambling.
[D] They [Bm] don't know [F#m] that someday, _ [G] somewhere, [Em] somebody's [A] gonna make me sing.
[D] I'm going home, [G]
I'm going [F#m] home.
I'm going home, [Em] I'm [A] going home.
[D] Well, no matter [Bm]
where I [G] wander, I know I'll [A] always find a [D] welcome.
At the [F#m] end of [Bm] every [G] journey, _ there'll be friendly [A] _ _ people _ waiting.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] California will _ not hold [G] me, _ though I love her [A] _
timber _ _ mountains, [D] _
work [Bm] her fields [F#m] and work _ her [Bm] _ orchards.
[G] Up and down [A] her central _ _ valleys.
[G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ I'm going _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ home. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [B] It's the music of people, [F#] and it belongs to all of us.
[Em] Thank you for coming to our town meeting.
Hope you [D] enjoyed the show, and good night.
