GOLD  John Stewart

 

[Verse 1]

Am

When the lights go down in the California town

Fmaj7                     Am

People are in for the evening.

I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar,

Fmaj7                          Am

My heart beats time with my breathing.

Fmaj7                   Em

Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul,

Fmaj7                                   Am

There’s people out there turning music into gold.

 

[Verse 2]

Am

Now, my buddy Jim Bass, he’s a-working, pumping gas,

Fmaj7                      Am

And he makes two fifty for an hour.

He’s got rhythm in his hands as he’s tapping on the cans,

Fmaj7                          Am

Sings rock and roll in the shower.

Fmaj7                   Em

Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul,

Fmaj7                                   Am

There’s people out there turning music into gold.

 

[Verse 3]

Am

Oh, California girls are the greatest in the world,

Fmaj7                      Am

Each one a song in the making,

Singing right at me, I can hear the melody,

Fmaj7                      Am

The story is there for the taking.

Fmaj7                   Em

Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul,

Fmaj7                                   Am

There’s people out there turning music into gold.

Fmaj7                   Em

Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul,

Fmaj7                                   Am

There’s people out there turning music into gold.

 

[Verse 4]

Am

When the lights go down in the California town

Fmaj7                     Am

People are in for the evening.

I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar,

Fmaj7                           Am

My heart beats time with my breathing.

Fmaj7                   Em

Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul,

Fmaj7                                           Am

There’s people out there turning music into gold.

Fmaj7                   Em

Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul

Fmaj7                                   Am

People out there turning music into gold,

Fmaj7                                   Am

People out there turning music into gold,

Fmaj7                                   Am

People out there turning music into gold.

Am                                             Fmaj7

People out there turning music into gold, into gold,

Am                                             Fmaj7

People out there turning music into gold, into gold,

Am                                             Fmaj7

People out there turning music into gold, into gold,

Am                                             Fmaj7

People out there turning music into gold, into gold,

Working on the radio,

Am                                             Fmaj7

People out there turning music into gold, into gold,

Slipping down the backroad,

Am                                             Fmaj7

People out there turning music into gold, into gold,

Am                                             Fmaj7

People out there turning music into gold, into gold
