 	E          A	   E
 In the late great golden state
               C#m       B  E
 It’s getting hard to negotiate
            E               A      E
 When you’re one slip from a grim fate
      C#m           B       E
 In the late great golden state
 
 E A E, E B E
 
 In the late great golden state
 I don’t do much but I’m always late
 I ain’t old, I’m just out of date
 In the late great golden state
 
 BRIDGE:
        C#m          B               A
 I caught one last glimpse of a Palomino
 	 C#m      B                      A
 When I drove out west to see the Purple Sage
              E       A		    E          A
 Then as the canyons burned and the mountains crumbled
 			        B
 The last cowboy band left the stage
 
 I ain’t old, I’m just out of date
 In the late great golden state
 
 E A E, E B E (x2)
 
 BRIDGE
 
 Yeah the late great golden state
 Is a nice place for a clean slate
 But leave your expectations at the gate
 Of the late great golden state
 ‘Cause they can pack you up and send you home in a crate
 Stamped “The Late Great Golden State”
 
 E A E, E B E
