CALIFORNIA SOBER CHORDS
[Start] [Verse] G ■ Well I used to like to ramble with my goodtime friends and neighbors C G Now I find I'd rather lie awake in bed G And I don't get to acting mean when I keep my buzzes clean A D And keep the hard stuff and the whiskey from my head G Well I guess that's just the trouble when you're always seeing double C G And the lines are getting twice as hard to see C G I've had years I don't recall but I'm told I had a ball Em C D G At least someone did who looked a lot like me [Chorus] G So I'm California sober as they say C G And lately I can't find no other way C G I can't stay out and party like I did back in the day A7 D G So I'm California sober as they say C Aw ■ pick it Willie [Inst] G A7 D7 G C G C G ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [Solo] Em C D G ■ ■ ■ ■ [Verse] G Well I heard out in the hills they got pills to get their thrills C G And they love their liquor down in New Orleans G Maybe for a New York minute sugarcane will fit the bill A D But in no time flat you're out of what you need [Chorus] G The old crew don't get together anymore these days much ever C G After some went straight and some went straight to jail C G Now they're busy posting vids and just trying to raise their kids A D G Instead of raising holy hell and posting bail G Well I'm California sober as they say C G And lately I can find no other way C G I can't stay out and party like I did back in the day A7 G So I'm California sober as they say [Solo] C7 G A7 D G C G C ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ G C G C G A7 D D7 ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ G C G7 C Em A7 D G ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [Chorus] G I was California sober 'til I thought the world was over C G Now I'm sitting on the roadside once again G7 C G When that wagon passes by I don't even bat an eye A7 D G7 Because the devil on my shoulder always wins C G Em When that ol' wagon passes by I don't even bat an eye D G 'Cause the devil on my shoulder always wins [End]
