INTRO
VERSE ONE
F#m7 E7 DMaj7
She loves the sunlight
F#m7 E7 DMaj7
How it paints on her soft skin
F#m7 E7 DMaj7
Takes care of those tan lines
F#m7 E7 DMaj7
Scar tissue from the morphine
HOOK
F#m7 E7 DMaj7
Baby don't you know you are stardust
F#m7 E7 DMaj7
And you're a long long way from home, way from home
F#m7 E7 DMaj7
(So) Baby brush it off like it's sawdust
F#m7 E7 DMaj7
Or you'll spend the California days alone, days alone
N.C.
Those California Girls got me outside all night
CHORUS
F#5 G#5 D#5
This is the last straw
F#5 G#5 D#5
Take it off
F#5 G#5 D#5
This is the last straw
F#5 G#5 D#5
Why don't you take it all
INTERLUDE (intro riff)
VERSE TWO
F#m7 E7
She ain't never seen the zoo, with the monkey on her back
DMaj7
They'd arrest her at the booth and then sell her to the lab
F#m7 E7
Put a label on the box that says treat is like it's glass
DMaj7
If she gets one scratch her parents never take her back
F#m7 E7 DMaj7
To be honest. . . she’s a liar full of promise
(DMaj7)
She thinks her Rolex makes her timeless
F#m7 E7 DMaj7
Her famous friends think she's harmless
(DMaj7)
I'd burn the bridge with her on it.
N.C.
(California girls got me outside all night)
CHORUS
F#5 G#5
Pinned down. . . pinnacle
D#5
She looks like. . . a centerfold
F#5 G#5 D#5
Sinner. . . cynical. . . (baby)
F#5 G#5
Oh my. . . make her moan
D#5
Amateur. . . baritone
F#5 G#5 D#5
Sex drive. . . like animals. . . (baby)
F#5 E5 D5
Ooh how I like the smell of west coast pheromones
F#5 E5 D5
Ooh how I like the smell of west coast pheromones
F#5 E5 D5
She smells like west coast pheromones
F#5 E5 D5
She smells like west coast pheromones
(i could have written the tab down for you again, but instead i grabbed it form here
http://www.chordistry.com/songs/nombe-california-girls-guitar-lesson-chord-chart-tabs
but this is not a complete rip off, i have fixed the chorus and changed the spacings.
but i still can't take any credit for the tab, Shawn parrotte did it.)
