G    320000
Em   022000
C/G  332000 (sometimes also 332010, use at your own taste)
D/A  554030 (sometimes also 554000)


G                                      Em
She's the kind of girl that tans to brown
C/G                              D/A
freckles on her elbows and her knees
G                                            Em
And I'm the boy that passes through these towns
C/G                                   D/A
I leave before we find out what it means

(Chorus)
C/G                            D/A
I'll send a letter addressed to you
G                                      Em
It says you're my California brown and blue
C/G                            D/A
Another coastline gives into waves and fades away

G Em C/G D/A
(now various hammers are used at the end of each chord, like the B note of the G chord 
the higher E note of the Em chord (relative to capo of course))

G                                Em
So I push through another hotel door
C/G                                      D/A
and I pull back the bed sheets till they break
G                                 Em
and I sleep so hard I don't even dream
C/G                               D/A
weightless in the arms of Golden Gate

C/G                    D/A
The only music I wanna hear
G                                        Em
is the sound of the last light that disappears
C/G                           D/A
Another songbird gives up its wings, it fades away

(same chord structure and timing as verse)
G           Em
dada dada dada
C/G         D/A
dada dada dada

(Chorus)
I'll send a letter addressed to you
It says you're my California brown and blue
Another coastline gives in to waves
It says you're my California Golden Gate

The only music I wanna hear
is the sound of the last light that disappears
Another songbird gives up its wings
and fades away
Another songbird gives up its wings
and fades away
