I think this song sounds best with barre chords
Intro F  
Verse 1
FOh California, if there's one thing I like to see
It's mCiles of asphalt boiling uA#nder the sun
I'm rolling up my sleeves and I'll Fwait 
For the moon rise for any phase it's in
CPray I see no black dogs running 
      A#(then strum muted strings)
And drive all night till the early morning
Chorus
FSteer with the mA#emories that swFim around my heCad
FSome are foolish, A#some so wise, and sFome just better off dCead
And I wA#on't sFlow dowCnA#  F  
Verse 2
FOh California. One thing that I'll see
It's mCiles of blacktop burning uA#nder the gun
Running state to state and I'll Fwait 
For the sun rise and the calm before the storm
CPray I see no black dogs running 
      A#(then strum muted strings)
And drive all night till the break of dawn 
Chorus

Come on 50 cent cup to burn up my throat
