Going to California
Jimmy Page & Robert Plant

Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin IV
1971

I think everyone must have Led Zeppelin IV, so this one should be good.
I had a request for this, and it was a lot easier than I thought.  The
main thing is that Page has at least 4 guitars going: 2 acoustics, a
mandolin, and I think a banjo.  Well, you guys are only getting the
acoustics.  Just work on it and you will eventually get it.  I have all
the parts and you just have to put them in the right place.  Good luck,
have fun, and keep playin'!

Here's the intro.  To make this shape, just move your
normal C chord up 2 frets.  Play this pattern twice:

LYRICS:

Spent my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stub and drank all my wine
Made up my mind to make a new start
Goin' To California with an achin' in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let them tell you that they're all the same
The sea was red and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake

BRIDGE
Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow
I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high

To find a queen without a king
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings (la la la)
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of doom
Tryin' to find a woman who's never never never been born
Standing on a hill on my mountain of dreams
Telling myself it's not as hard hard hard as it seems (mmm hmmm)
