California´s Dark Chords & Lyrics - Nightwatchman

[INTRO]
[||] , [F#] , [||]
[F#] , [B]It started in basements
And it started in sheds[F#]
It started in backyards
And was hidden under beds[F#] , [E/B] , [B]
I turned on the TV[B]
Don't believe a word they say[F#] , [E/B]
We can't stay here
And we can't get away

[B] There's a riot on Su[F#] , [B] , [F#] , [B]nset
And fires burn in the park[F#] , [B]
The sun has [F#] , [E/B] , Note:, On, the, B-snare, 9th, fret, becomes, 10th, BE/Bset my friend

And California's dark

[||A] , [F#] , [||]
And over the screaming
I heard a clear voice
I looked at my choices
And I made a choice
Smoke and ashes
Tonight hide the stars[F#] , [E/B] , [B] , [F#] , [E/B] , [B] , [F#] , [B]
The stop lights are red now, love[B]
We've come for what's ours[F#]

[B] There's a riot on Su[F#]nset[B]
And fires burn in the park[F#] , [B]
The sun has [F#] , [E/B] , Note:, On, the, B-snare, 9th, fret, becomes, 10th, BE/Bset my friend

And California's dark

[||] , [A] , [||] , [F#5] , [||]
[F#5]Come stand among the rattlesnakes

At the side of the desert road

And close your eyes and listen
[B5] , [F#5]To the music hard and cold

Tonight the moon is blackened

Tonight the doors are shut

Behind the shuttered windows
We[B5] , [F#5] pray the sun will come up
[F#]For something walks across these fields

For which there is no name

You might have heard different
[B] , [F#]But I was there when it came

It will start with a spark

And a great fire will grow
Don't know how I know it
But I just know

There's a riot on Sunset[B] , [F#] , [B]
And fires burn in the park[F#] , [B]
The sun sets [F#]everywhere
And the[B] , [F#] , [B] whole damn country's dark
There's a riot on [F#] , [B]Sunset
And fires burn in the park[F#] , [B]
The sun has [F#] , [E/B] , Again, with, the, 10th, fret, on, the, B, BE/Bset my friend
And California's dark
