California Brown

C D If I’m gonna live in this New England town Em C I’m gonna paint my house California Brown Am C Gonna add a little color to the winter grey Em C Am Gonna carve a little depth into the frozen day C D Breaking off the edges of the sidewalk ice Em C The crunch beneath my boots well it feels so nice Am C But I’d trade it in a second just to hang around Em C Am Where the sun’s shining down on California Brown G C D California Brown G D Em Where the gold trail ambles through the bone dry ground G D Em I’m the lion in the brambles just outside of town G D Em A7 Staring down the valley without making a sound. C7 Em Watching for the sun to go down. C D When the leaves are all gone and the branches are spikes Em C And the neighborhood kids have packed away their bikes Am C And staring out the window is like staring at a frown. Em C Am I do my best to think of California Brown G C D California Brown G D Em Where the gold trail ambles through the bone dry ground G D Em I’m the lion in the brambles just outside of town G D Em A7 Creeping toward the valley without making a sound. C7 Em Waiting for the sun to go down. Bbmaj7 Am7 Sun hanging down. Ebmaj7 Gm C7 Orange and blue above brown.
