California Poppy Chords

[Intro]
G  D  C D G
 
[Verse 1]
G                                Em
Don’t pick up strangers on the road
                      D
As a young boy I was told
                        G
But I could never ever listen
G                        Em
I was en route to Monterey
                          D
She was heading the same way
                      G
All aboard my Silverado
 
[Chorus]
G                               D
She’s a California Poppy of the PCH
C               G
Blooming on the roadside
G                         D
Hitching and thumbing and bumming a ride
     C      D       G
In a golden ray of sunshine
 
[Verse 2]
G                            Em
She was a hipster from the town
                      D
Smoking reefer by the pound
                          G
And her ways were kind of groovy
G                              Em
She kept her shades on for the ride
                                      D
There was something she was trying to hide
                           G
I couldn’t put my finger on it
 
[Chorus]
G                               D
She’s a California Poppy of the PCH
C               G
Blooming on the roadside
G                         D
Hitching and thumbing and bumming a ride
     C      D       G
In a golden ray of sunshine
 
[Verse 3]
G                               Em
We made a stop at a service station
                       D
For a little bit of relaxation
                      G
And a little bit of Gasoline
G                                    Em
She stole my keys and then she rode away
                          D
And for the gas I had to pay
                         G
So I wrote my song about it
 
[Chorus]
G                               D
She’s a California Poppy of the PCH
C               G
Blooming on the roadside
G                         D
Hitching and thumbing and bumming a ride
     C      D       G
In a golden ray of sunshine
