Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Sonny took a train
Mary took a boat
Somewhere its gonna be
Better everybody needs a little hope
Ten thousand souls waiting on bus and it never rolled
So it goes
No ones leaving California
Pacifica transic overload
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya
And my guitar strums
I am the American
Got a walking stick
And an old sock hat
I got dirty hands
And I got a dream to match
I got a pocket full of government issue cures for poverty
No ones leaving California
Pacifica transic overload
All my friends live on the corner
And my guitar strums
I am the American
Under the street light, down by the water
Don't worry baby, its nothing you ever knew
If it makes you feel better throw down a quarter
Don't worry it won't stick to your shoes
No ones leaving California
Pacifica transic overload
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya
And my guitar strums
And my guitar strums
I am the American
