Led Zeppelin - Going to California

[INTRO]
D D9 D  D4 D4+  D

G
Spent my days with a woman unkind

                          D
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine

G
Made up my mind to make a new start

                                   D
Going to California with an aching in my heart

G
Someone told me there’s a girl out there

                                  D  
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

Dm D9 D D4 Dm D9 D D4
D9 D

G
Took my chances in a big jet plane

                                             D
Never let them tell you that they’re all the same

       G
Oooh.. The sea was red and the sky was grey

                                    D
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today

G
The mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake

                                D
As the children of the sun began to awake

Dm
Seems that the wrath of the gods

Dm
got a punch on the nose

Dm
and it started to flow

         A7  A4  A9-       A7  A4  A9-
I think it might be sinking

Dm
Throw me a line

Dm
if I reach it in time

Dm
I’ll meet you up there


            A7 A4 A9     A7 A4 A9
where the path runs straight and high

D      G
To find a queen without a king
     
                                        D
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings, la la la la..

G
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn

                                         D
Tryin’ to find a woman who’s never, never been born

G
standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams

                                D
Telling myself it’s not as hard as it seems

Dm  D9  D  D4 Dm  D9  D  D4
D9 D
