John Stewart – Gold chords

Very easy. One of the very first songs I learned. Great begnner tune.

Verse 1
AmWhen the lights go down in the California town

F                     AmPeople are in for the evening.
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar,

   F                          AmMy heart beats time with my breathing.

F                   EmDriving over Canan, singing to my soul,

        F                                   AmThere's people out there turning music into gold.

Verse 2
AmNow, my buddy Jim Bass, he's a-working, pumping gas,

       F                      AmAnd he makes two fifty for an hour.
He's got rhythm in his hands as he's tapping on the cans,

F                          AmSings rock and roll in the shower.

F                   EmDriving over Canan, singing to my soul,

        F                                   AmThere's people out there turning music into gold.

Verse 3
AmOh, California girls are the greatest in the world,

F                      AmEach one a song in the making,
Singing right at me, I can hear the melody,

    F                      AmThe story is there for the taking.

F                   EmDriving over Kanan, singing to my soul,

        F                                   AmThere's people out there turning music into gold.

F                   EmDriving over Kanan, singing to my soul,

        F                                   AmThere's people out there turning music into gold.
