VERSE 1:
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Don't be so sad, California's not that bad
G Cadd9
Start gathering up the ocean
Em7 D
I'll start rounnding up the sand
G Cadd9
When January calls you
G Cadd9
From February's pad
G Cadd9
I say December's still wide open
Em7 D
but September's all you had
G Cadd9
When the has-been tells you
G Cadd9
That it never was his bag
He'll be waiting outside in his dusty cadillac
CHORUS:
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
Nixon Saves
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
Nixon Saves
VERSE 2:
G Cadd9
We're traveling at night
G Cadd9
Wearing silent dogs that bite
G Cadd9
You can be there by 4:30
Em7 D
Bring your wrench and your satellite
G Cadd9
January calls you
G Cadd9
With your shiny Roosevelt dime
G Cadd9
You say assume your destination
Em7 D
Is just march if there's still time
G Cadd9
Blessing are just curses
G Cadd9
But they never were his bag
Baby that would be a drag
CHORUS:
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
Nixon Saves
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
Nixon Saves
VERSE 3:
G Cadd
So don't be so sad
G Cadd9
You say Nevada's not that bad
G Cadd9
Got a handful of the ocean
Em7 D
You've got a faceful of the sand
G Cadd9
Coz when the has-been tells you
G Cadd9
it never was his bag
He'll be waiting outside in his dusty old cadellac.
CHORUS:
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
Nixon Saves
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
Nixon Saves
