Song: California
Artist: Mick Flannery
Album: White Lies
Okay so. This is California. I love this song. Great guitar in it. I called this
a chords tab because it is mostly chords but I'll tab out the intro and a fill.
Okay, Mick has a guitar style of using pick and his 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers. A
mix between picking and finger picking basically. So for this intro just use
whatever you find easiest.

Intro: (make the chord shapes. the tabbing is based around them)

Verse 1
G Bm
Lady, come into my room,
Em Dsus4
I pretend I'm sleeping, half an eye on you,
G Bm
Slow, you take of your clothes,
Em
You knew I was watching,
Dsus4
Said "How'd you like to show?'
D C
Then I told you I loved you
Fill
And you said yeah I know,
D C
Babe I thought I could die
Fill
Before I'd ever let go.

Verse 2
G Bm
Well, I fell under a spell
Em
All the love you gave me
Dsus4
I took it from myself,
G Bm
And no matter what you tried
Em
I wouldn't let you help me
Dsus4
Or look you in the eye,
D C
I remember the day that we
Fill
Said our goodbyes,
D C
Though I can't for the life of me
Fill
Remember why
D Em
I'm still going into town now too often,
Am D B7 Em
Nails in my coffin, to auld lang syne,

Everytime, everytime

Verse 3
G Bm
I, I was afraid of time,
Em
I I didn't change me
Dsus4
I would fall behind,
G Bm
And so, I went on the road,
Em
On to California,
Dsus4
Here I am alone
D C
I know how to do right
Fill
But I've been getting it wrong,
D C
Now I'm sitting here hoping
Fill
I'll come back to form
