just a rough busking version of a fantastic song,
long live the magnetic fields
Intro: B Ab E, F# B with this riff:
e--0-2-4-4-2
b------ 0-2-4-4-5 5-4-2-0-0
g------ 3-4
BF#B
See them on the big bright screen
BEF#
tan and blonde and seventeen
BF#B
eating non-food keeps them mean
EF#
but they're young forever
B
if they must grow up
AbE
they marry dukes and earls
F#B
I hate California girls
BF#B
They ain't broke so they put on airs
EF#
the faux folks sans derrieres
BF#B
they breathe coke and they have affairs
EF#
with each passing rock star
B
they come on like squares
AbE
then get off like squirrels
F#B
I hate California girls
BB#
(with riff)
then Bridge:
GA
Looking down their perfect noses
F#mG
at me and my kind
GA
do they think we won't-
E
well nevermind
GA
laughing through their perfect teeth
F#mG
at everyone I know
GA
do they think we won't
E
get up and go
F#
so
BF#B
I have planned my grand attacks
EF#
I will stand behind their backs
BF#B
with my brand-new battle-axe
EF#
then will they taste my wrath?
B
They will hear me say
AbE
as the pavement whirls
F#B
"I hate California girls.."
