[D] [A]
[E] [A] [D]
[A] He was never there when needed, [D] and oh how much she pleaded, saying,
[A] Darling, won't you stay home [E] just one time?
[A] He'd just smile and say, I'm sorry, [D] but there's no need to worry,
Just go to [A] meet [D] some army [A] buddies, [E] drink some beer, [A] fight the war,
[D] [A]
In the kitchen making wishes, [D] as she tidies up the dishes
Of [A] another [D] [A] lonely weekend, and the wine she drank [E] alone,
[Bm]
[A] And the nights, [Dm] they hold [A] no pity, [D] in the cold of New York City,
[A] As she waits [D] there in [A] the darkness, [E] to hear his key turn [A] in the door
[D]
[A] She [E] said, I'm going to California, to [D] taste the sunshine and [A] the wine,
Sit [D] beside the [A] rolling ocean, and slowly [E] pass the time,
[A] Reading books [D] and all [A] of story, [D] and forget about my worries,
[A] And maybe, [D] who [A] knows, maybe, [E] we'll meet again [A] sometime
[Em] [G]
[D] Then one night he came home sober, [G] with a longing just to hold her,
[D] When he found [G] the [D] note she'd written, waiting by the [A] telephone
[D] And she [G] said, I'll [D] always love you, [G] and I never will forget you,
[D] But I just [G] can't [D] take this lonely
[A] feeling [D] anymore
[G] Now [D] the nights are cold and lonely, [G] as he sits and watches TV,
[D] Drinking beer and chasing whiskey, wondering where it all [A] went wrong
[D] And his eyes are tired and burning, [G] from the dreams that keep returning,
[D] And all [G] his
[D] yesterdays, [A] they won't leave him [D] alone
She [G]
[A] said, I'm going to California, to [G] taste the sunshine [D] and the wine,
