California Part 2 Tab

TUNING: HALF STEP DOWN (D# G# C# F# A# D#)
 
The previous tab here was close, though it assumed a D chord for part of the
which isn't true.  I've made the listed Intro/refrain what I assume he plays, and I've
at the
(*) what I think sounds better (it really just eliminates a weak sounding hammer on).
stated above, the recording (and live shows), Mason Jennings tunes half a step down.
you're just grooving, it's hardly necessary. Thanks to whomever posted the last tab, it
a good starting point.

I tell you what I'm gonna do
           C         F G
I'm gonna lighten up
            C                          F        G
I'm gonna throw a box of books and my beloved guitar

INTRO x 2
 
Gonna stay away from LA
Stayin far away from there
Going north of San Fransisco
Into the cleaner air
Gonna get a little land from the money I saved
Buy an old house that I can work on
where the next nearest neighbor lives miles away
I'll never have to mow the lawn, right on

and when the house is all finished
and the garden is grown
i'm gonna write you a letter
asking you to come home
and i know that you will come
yes i know that you will come
others may know where ya been
but honey i know where you're from, you're from
