Capo 1st

F             C
Sonny took a train
G           C
Mary took a boat
F                  C
Somewhere its gonna be
 G                Am
Better everybody needs a little hope
F             C     G
Ten thousand souls waiting on bus and it never rolled
      F
So it goes

Am     F         C
No ones leaving California
Am       F       G
Pacifica transic overload
F                       Am
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya
G
And my guitar strums
I am the American

F              C
Got a walking stick
G              C
And an old sock hat
F           C
I got dirty hands
G                    Am
And I got a dream to match
F              C       G                           F
I got a pocket full of government issue cures for poverty


No ones leaving California
Pacifica transic overload
All my friends live on the corner
And my guitar strums
I am the American

F                       C
Under the street light, down by the water
G                      F
Don't worry baby, its nothing you ever knew
F                           C
If it makes you feel better throw down a quarter
G                     F
Don't worry it won't stick to your shoes

No ones leaving California
Pacifica transic overload
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya
And my guitar strums
And my guitar strums
I am the American
