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                                                 D
It's been a long time comin' but she's feeling like a woman tonight
         A                                                      D
And she left a little letter said she's gonna make a stop in Nevada
G   D    Em   A   D  A
Goodbye, goodbye.

[Verse 2]
D                             G
 She tried for years to be a good wife
Em         A                  D    G
 It never quite got off the ground
D                              G
 And all those stories of the good life
Em                           G    Bm
 Convinced her not to hang around

[Chorus]
A                                     D
Oh, and now she's heading out to California
        A
And she doesn't know what's comin' but she's sure of what she's
D
leaving behind
         A                                                      D
And she left a little letter said she's gonna make a stop in Nevada
G   D    Em  A
Goodbye, goodbye.

[Instrumental]
D G Em D A

[Bridge]
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

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