(D) (A) (E)
Real easy song, strum;
VERSE 1
A
I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight
E
On a bed of California stars
D
I'd like to lay my weary bones tonite
A
On a bed of California stars
VERSE 2(same chords)
I'd love to feel your hand touching mine
And tell me why I must keep working on
Yes, i'd give my life to la my head tonight
On a bed of California stars
VERSE 3
I'd like to dream my troubles are away
On a bed of Califrnia stars
Jump up from a starbed and make another day
Underneath my California stars
VERSE 4
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine
So, I'd give this world just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars
"GO WEST PARADISE IS THERE YOU'LL HAVE ALL THAT YOU CAN EAT OF MILK AND HONEY OVER THERE"
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official WILCO tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
