  here's the best transcription I can do of this great song:

  song: California (all the way)

  Artist: Luna

  Album: Bewitched

  Track #: 1

  there are two guitars, one electric with a wah-wah pedal, and the other 

  probably acoustic. The electric (guitar 1) plays the opening, and keeps the 

  same chords in the verse. The acoustic (guitar 2) plays the same progression

  the whole time except for the bridge.

  verse 1:

  

  Guitar 1 - riff 1

           D                 A              D   G A

  well she followed him from Phoenix out to Califor...

  D            A                 D   G A

  and then she passed out on the bed

  D           A                D          G         A

  and all the little things he never even asked her for

  D          A                    D    G A

  she simply smiled and shook her head

  

  Chorus:

  

  Guitar 1 - riff 2

  Guitar 2 - main riff

  

  why can't we smile just like we used to?

  why don't you figure anymore?

  why has my simpathy now turned to malice?

  it doesn't matter anymore.

  

  verse 2:

  

  Guitar 1 - riff 1

  

  and now I realize I'm livin' like a trucker does

  although I haven't got the belly

  and though she followed me to California all the way

  I only wanna watch the telly
