[C] Well, a robin flew [F] by my window I [C] thought it just [G] might be you
Judged [C] from the color of its breast And [F] the sound of its song
[C] But [G] I'm just thinking [C] of you Cause you're the [F] son of California
[C] The fertile land John [G] Steinbeck rode [C] over when I [B] came
[F] Not a single fertile patch [C] Could be spared [G] for you and [C] me
You [F] see I wanted to [C] love you baby Like neither you nor I been [G] loved before
I thought I [C] could change the world If I [F] just held you high [C] enough
Through this I couldn't hold you up at all Couldn't hold [F] you up
[C] Couldn't hold [G] [F] you up And
