G                                      Em
She's the kind of girl that tans to brown
C/G                              D/A
freckles on her elbows and her knees
G                                            Em
And I'm the boy that passes through these towns
C/G                                   D/A
I leave before we find out what it means

(chorus)
C/G                            D/A
I'll send a letter addressed to you
G                                      Em
it says you're my California brown and blue
C/G                             D/A
Another shore line gives into waves and fades away

G Em C/G D/A
(now various hammers are used at the end of each chord, like the B note of the G chord 
the higher E note of the Em chord (relative to capo of course))

G                                Em
So I push through another hotel door
C/G                                      D/A
and I pull back the bed sheets till they break
G                                 Em
and I sleep so hard I don't even dream
C/G                               D/A
weightless in the arms of Golden Gate

C/G                     D/A
The only music I want to hear
G                                   Em
is the sound of the last light left dissapears
C/G                            D/A
Another songbird gives up it's wings it fades away

(same chord structure and timing as verse)
G           Em
dada dada dada
C/G         D/A
dada dada dada

(chorus)
I'll send a letter addressed to you
it says you're my California brown and blue
Another shore line gives in to waves
it says your my California Golden Gate

The only music I want to hear is the sound of the last light that disapears
Another songbird gives up it's wings
and fades away
Another songbird gives up it's wings
and fades away

End on G
