My version is without capo.
It is for the people who don't want to play songs with capo's.
I hope it helps you!
BGoodbye cold, goodbye rain
BGoodbye sorrow, goodbye shame
EI'm headed out west with my headphones on
EBoarded a flight with a song in the back of my Bsoul
BAnd no one knows
I F#just found out her ghost left town
The EQueen of California is stepping down, downB  
Hello Bbeauty, hello strange
Hello Bwonder, what's your name?
ELooking for the sun that Neil Young hung
EAfter the gold rush of 19B71
I F#just found out her ghost left town
The EQueen of California is stepping down, downB  
[INSTRUMENTAL](It's just the B)
BIf you see her say, "Hello"
BJust don't tell me, "I told you so"
EJoni wrote Blue in her house by the sea
EI gotta believe there’s another color waiting on Bme
BTo set me free
I F#just found out her ghost left town
The EQueen of California is stepping down, downB
