[Verse 1]
[G]The[C][G][C]
[G]nom[C]ina[G]ted
coun[C]cillors had [G]a joke,
To build the city's
[C]foundations on [G]smoke.[Am]
[F]They thought the[Am]ir idea so [G]funny
That their [Am]laughter it turned
[C]into a choke.
[G]

[Verse 2]
They started on the blue
[C]prints right [G]away,
Tracing out the [C]cul- de- sacs in [G]spades.
[F]They wen[Am]t to sleep not[C] dre[G]aming,
Not [Am]dreaming that they
[C]never would awake.
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]All the Spanish [C]Mission
houses [G]slide into the [D]sea
[G]The poo[D]l cleaner he cle[C]ans the pool with
its [G]owner's [D]SUV[G]
[D]The shadow [G]of the [C]mountain it comes
[G]creeping across the [D]sea[G]
And no- one [D]would believe [G]you if you
[C]said this is how it would [G]be

[Verse 4]
[G]Up in Laurel [C]Canyon angels [G]sing,
While sweet Gene [C]Autry's dealing
cards to [G]Sting.
[F]He's so [G]flat [Am]he went
out [C]and [G]traded[Am]
$50[C]for his wedding ring.
[G]

[Verse 5]
[D]All the sul[G]len [C]singers [G]the[C]y pull
[G]down on their fri[D]nge[G][D]
The French doors start [G]to [C]buckle and
they [G]let the waters [D]in[G][D]
[G]You kno[D]w that the[G]se hil[C]ls were
built for [G]people to be [D]free[G]
And [D]no- one would be[G]lieve you if you [C]said

[Interlude 1]
this is how it would be
[G][C][G]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 6]
The [D]gutters become [C]torrents and
run [G]down the graceful [D]streets
[G]Like a [D]revolu[G]tion[C]ary force
stamp[G]ing its foamy [D]feet[G]
The [D]elements of [G]nature [C]they are[G]
turned and re[D]versed
Land is sea, [C]air is land,
and [G]fire its in[D]verse
All the marble [C]monuments
they re[G]turn to the [D]sea
And no- one would believe you if
you [C]said this is how it would [G]be
