California Sober
Billy Strings
Key : G
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
G
Uh

[Verse 1]
---------------------
        G
Well, I used to like to ramble with my goodtime friends and neighbors
      C                            G
Now I find I'd rather lie awake in bed
And I don't get to acting mean and when I keep my buzzes clean
                 A                              D
And keep the hard stuff and the whiskey from my head
        G
Well, I guess that's just the trouble when you're always seeing double
             C                                G
And the lines are getting twice as hard to see
              C                        G
I've had years I don't recall, but I'm told I had a ball
         A               D                 G
At least someone did who looked a lot like me

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
       G
So I'm California sober as they say
        C                               G
Oh, and lately I can't find no other way
        C                            G               Em
I can't stay out and party like I did back in the day
       A          D             G
So I'm California sober as they say

[Guitar Solo 1]
---------------------
G C                        G                    A D
   Aw, and pick it, Willie, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[Violin Solo]

[Verse 2]
---------------------
        G
Well, I heard out in the hills, they got pills to get their thrills
         C                               G
And they love their liquor down in New Orleans
Maybe for a New York minute, sugarcane will fit the bill
         A                                  D
But in no time flat, you're out of what you need
        G
The old crew don't get together anymore these days much ever
      C                                                G
After some went straight and some went straight to jail
            C                          G
Now they're busy posting vids and just trying to raise their kids
       A                D            G
To the raising holy hell and posting bail

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
          G
Well, I'm California sober as they say
        C                               G
Oh, and lately I can't find no other way
        C                            G               Em
I can't stay out and party like I did back in the day
       A          D             G
So I'm California sober as they say

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
G      G
 I was California sober 'til I thought the world was over and
        C                             G
Now I'm sitting on the roadside once again
             C                     G              Em
When that wagon passes by, I don't even bat an eye
          A           D               G
Cause the devil on my shoulder always wins

[Outro]
---------------------
              C                        G              Em
When that ol' wagon passes by, I don't even bat an eye
          A           D              G
Cause the devil on my shoulder always wins
