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

[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

[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
