Song

The Moffatts - \"California\".

Tabbed by Laura F, averagedvl@aol.com.

Hey, I play guitar and I've tabbed out \"California.\" When I went to your site to check out your Moffatts tabs I found a lot of mistakes in the version of \"California\" that was submitted to you. I'm completely sure that the version you have on lucky-stars.com is wrong! I have the correct tabs here:

(I can re-send it in a .txt file if that would be easier for you).

LYRICS:

I open my eyes to see her face

In a daze we engaged

Last night I slept about an hour

To fill her needs and desires

Chorus:

One more night in California

One more night with you

One more night

Yeah she's all right

She's all right

One more night

One more night in California

I need to catch a ride to the south side

I grabbed a patty and shake

I felt the earthquake

I jumped in a cab for LAX

I flipped him a tip, hey man

Then I split

Chorus

I open my eyes to see her face

She's all right

She's all right

One more night

One more night in California

She's all right

She's all right

One more night

One more night in California

A night in California

A night in California
