D                           G
He always found it hard to take her
Em            A           D  G
She wouldn't listen to advice
D                             G
And though he never tried to make her
Em                             G  Bm
She often thought it would be nice

Chorus:
A                                     D
Oh, and now she's headin' out to California
             A
It's been a long time comin' but she's feeling
                D
like a woman tonight
         A
And she left a little letter said she's
                        D
gonna make a stop in Nevada
 G   D    Em   A D A
Goodbye, goodbye.

She tried for years to be a good wife
It never quite got off the ground
And all those stories of the good life
Convinced her not to hang around

Chorus:
Oh, and now she's headin' out to California
And she doesn't know what's comin'
But she sure knows what she's leavin' behind
And she left a little letter
Said she's gonna make a stop in Nevada
Goodbye. Goodbye

D                                G
And though she finds it hard to leave him
Em            A                  D G
She knows it would be worse to stay
D                           G
He wouldn't understand the reasons
Em                      G Bm
That make a woman run away

Chorus:
Oh, and now she's heading out to California
With some money in her pocket she's
a rocket on the fourth of July
And she left a little letter said
she's gonna make a stop in Nevada
Goodbye, good-Oh, and now she's
heading out to California
With some money in her pocket
she's a rocket on the fourth of July
And she left a little letter
said she's gonna make a stop in Nevada
Goodbye, goodbye.
