[Intro]
G G G G [Verse]
G Well, I used to like to ramble with my
G
good-time friends and neighbors C G Now I find I'd rather lie awake in bed G And I don't get to actin' mean when
G
I keep my buzzes clean A And keep the hard stuff and the
D
whiskey from my head G Well, I guess that's just the trouble
G
when you're always seein' double C And the lines are gettin'
G
twice as hard to see C I've had years I don't recall,
G Em
but I'm told I had a ball A At least somebody did
D G
who looked a lot like me [Chorus]
G G So I'm California sober as they say C G And lately I can't find no other way C I can't stay out and party like
G Em
I did back in the day A D G So I'm California sober as they say [Instrumental]
G G C G G G A D G G C G C G Em A D G G [Verse]
G Well, I heard out in the hills,
G
they got pills to get their thrills C And they love their liquor down in
G
New Orleans G Maybe for a New York minute,
G
sugarcane will fit the bill A But in no time flat, you're out of
D
what you need G The old crew don't get together
G
anymore these days much ever C After some went straight and
G
some went straight to jail C Now they're busy postin' vids and
G Em
just tryin' to raise their kids A D Instead of raisin' holy heck
G
and postin' bail [Chorus]
G G Well, I'm California sober as they say C G And lately I can't find no other way C I can't stay out and party like
G
I did back in the day A D G So I'm California sober as they say [Instrumental]
G G C G G G A D G G C G C G Em A D G G G C G G G A7 D G G C G C G Em A7 D G [Outro]
G I was California sober
G
'til I thought the world was over C G Now I'm sittin' on the roadside once again C When that wagon passes by,
G Em
I don't even bat an eye A7 Because the devil on
D G
my shoulder always wins C When that ol' wagon passes by,
G Em
I don't even bat an eye Em G Because the devil on
D G
my shoulder always wins
