Sunshine State(Keyboard chords)

	        Intro 

 


   C                                    G9              Am 
It finally came - the day when I had to take you to the airport 
                            F7 
And put you on a plane, and so you left me. 
C                                     G9             Am 
Left me alone on an empty tube train, deep under the ground, 
                                   F7 
While you were bathed in sunlight, high above the clouds. 

Dm                   G  G7    C   Em      F7 
I needed you here to be-ee my sunshine in London town. 
Dm           G  G7 C    Em   F7  G (A B D)<--Bass notes 
California's ha-ad more than its fair      share. 

Repeat Intro 

    C                                    G9 
You left me to these small skies, and to rain-soaked concrete, 
   Am                             F7          C 
To Morrissey and Robert Smith and complicated streets I know, 
                       G9                Am 
On which you lost your patience and your way, 
                          F7 
The way you always did on steel grey rainy days. 

Dm                   G  G7    C   Em      F7 
I needed you here to be-ee my sunshine in London town. 
Dm           G  G7 C    Em   F7  G (A B D) C (let it ring) 
California's ha-ad more than its fair      share. 

                  G6 (320000)           Am 
Of beating summer sun and shining seas, 
                      F7 
But it doesn't have a shred of honesty. 
F7 (pick from now on like in intro))    Am7 
I know the truth - yeah, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell were Canadians. 
F7                                                 Am7 
I guess that makes sense - they had their fill and then they moved away again. 
F7                                     Am7 
You're not alone, we all sometimes use words that we don't understand. 
F7                                      Am7           G       G7 
Your 'love' was only just skin deep and in the end it gave me cancer. 

Dm                   G  G7             C  Em         F7 
You might've been my sunshine, but I'd rather have a rainy day. 
Dm         G  G7  C    Em   F  G (A B D) 
California ge-ets just what it de--------serves. 

Repeat Intro, finish on C (x32013)
