Chords for Johnny McEvoy - Going To California

[A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ He was never there when needed
_ [D] And oh how much she pleaded
_ [A] Saying darling, [D] oh, [A] just stay home just one [E]
time
_ He'd _ _ [A] just smile and say I'm sorry
_ [D] Well, there's no need to worry
Just [A] go to meet [D] some [A] army buddies
Drink [E] some beer and [A] fight the war _ _ _
In the kitchen making wishes
As [D] she tidies up the dishes _ [F#m] of another [D] _ [A] lonely weekend
_ And the wine she drank [E]
alone
And [A] the nights they hold no pity
_ [D] In the cold of New York City
_ While [A] she waits [D] there in [A] the darkness
To hear [E] his key turn
[A] in the door
Then _ _ _ one night
He came home sober
_ [D] With a longing just to hold her
When [A] he found [D] the notes [A] she'd written waiting by
_ _ [E] Telephone
And [A] she said I'll always Love you
And [D] I never will Forget you
[A] But I just [D] can't take [A] this lonely
_ _ [Em]
feeling _ [A] anymore
_ She _ _ said [E] I'm going to
California _ to taste [D] the sunshine and [A] the wine
_ [D] Sit beside the [A] rolling ocean
And slowly pass [E] the time
_ [A] Reading books [D] and old [A] love stories
[D] And forget about my worries
_ _ [A] Maybe [D] who [A] knows maybe
We'll [E] meet again [A] sometime
_ Now _ _ _ the nights are long
Lonely _ [D] as he sits and watches TV
_ drinking [A]
beer [D] and chasing [A] whiskey
_ wondering where it all
[E] And _ _ [A] his eyes are tired and burning
_ [D] From the dreams that keep returning
And [F#m]
all [D] is yesterday
[A] _ _ They [E] won't leave him
_ [A] Alone _ _ _
She said [E] I'm going to
California _ to taste [D] the sunshine and [A] the wine
Sit [D] beside the rolling [A]
ocean
And slowly pass [E] the time
_ [A] Reading books [D] and old [A] love stories
_ [D] And forget about
My worries and [A] _ [D] maybe who [A] knows maybe
_ We'll [E] meet again
_ _ [A] sometime
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
