California Bloodlines Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

This little signature run –B A♯ B C B A G, B A♯ B C B A G, A aa A B A G A G-

can either be played as single notes- or “highlight “ the notes while playing

the G-chord.

You can either try to copy John´s playing or follow my advice-

I love to play the song a little like John Hartford´s “Gentle on My Mind”

(come on, you know that one). Try it and see what you think.

Intro

G D9 G D9 G

Had Gj7 I been G6 born in G New York D9 City,

A New York D7 City girl I'D G know,

Oh, workin' Gj7 in the G6 concrete, G not the D9 sunlight,

Livin' in the D7 New York rain and G snow.

Oh, there's California Bloodlines in D9 my heart,

And a California D7 woman in my G song,

Oh, there's California Bloodlines in D9 my heart,

And a California D7 heartbeat in my G soul.

And just to Gj7 think that I G6 might have G never D9 known you

If I had lived my D7 life in Tennes G see,

But I really Gj7 could have G6 never G let that D9 happen,

For you and Cali D7 fornia are in G me.

Oh, there's California Bloodlines in D9 my heart,

And a California D7 woman in my G song,

Oh, there's California Bloodlines in D9 my heart,

And a California D7 heartbeat in my G soul.

Have you wondered Gj7 where we G6 were ´fore G we were D9 born,

Rollin' 'round the D7 heavens like a G song?

Oh, I know it's Gj7 then I G6 saw the G big Si D9 erras,

Saw A California D7 sunrise comin' G on.

There's California Bloodlines in D9 my heart,

And a California D7 woman in my G song,

There's California Bloodlines in D9 my heart,

And a California D7 heartbeat in my G soul.

There's California Bloodlines in D9 my heart,

And a California D7 woman in my G song,

There's California Bloodlines in D9 my heart,

And a California D7 heartbeat in my G soul.
