Well, I used to like to ramble with my good times and friends, but now I find that better
lying away ain't better.
I don't forget to act a mean when I keep my [C#] buzzers swinging and keep the hard [A] stuff and
the whiskey [D] from my head. _
[G] Well, I guess that's just the trouble with the blues. _ _ _

[C] When you're always singing double [G] and the rhyme doesn't get _ twice as hard to see.
_ I hadn't even [A] gotten on the call, but I'm told I've [Bm] had about at least [G] some money to
do what looks a lot like me. _
So [C] I'm California Sober [G] as they say. _
_ [C] Hey, Billy, I can't find no [G] other way.
[Em] I dance to [A] get out and party [D] like I did [G] back in the day.
That's one of California's soberest days.
_ All [C] I hear now that they're [G] hails is blue thrills. _
[C] I asked them, funny, [G] like I did back [Em] in the day,
they said _ [Gm] California's sober, they said.
[G] Me,

_ [A] _ _ [D] _ [G] I _ _ was in California sober until I thought the world was over.
And I lost [C] it, no, the world's not [G] on ten. _
When that wagon [C] passes by, [Em] I don't need a matadon.
[A] There's a devil [D] on my shoulder [G] always with me.
When that [Em] wagon passes by, I don't need a matadon.
I _ _ _ [G] can't remember what the name was.
I don't know. _ _ _ _ _
