[Verse 1]
E A E A E A E A Days fly by me like dragons, oil well fires, and car tire smoke E A E A Helicopter searchlights through my window E A E C#m These midnight mean streets ain't no joke D E A Listening to the siren's wail, counting sheep to no avail
[Verse 2]
E A E A E A E A Traffic jam from here to nowhere, the devil's claw marks point the way E A E A There's not much shaking out on the fault line E A E C#m Unless the big one comes today D B If I go north straight up the 1, destination Oregon E D C#m E No need to leave the porch light on, I'll be long gone
[Chorus]
A E A E A E A E Rainy days in California come too far and few for me A E A E C#m Rainy days in California D These desert towns don't feed my soul E I need to hear the thunder roll
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
E A E A As in some dark and tangled nightmare E A E A I've lost all sense of time and place E A E A I'm sure you must have seen me somewhere E A E C#m I'm no stranger to disgrace D B 10 bound east past Indio, hammer down New Mexico E D C#m E Airline Highway here I come, gone and then some
[Chorus]
A E A E A E A E Rainy days in California come too far and few between A E A E C#m Rainy days in California D Twenty years of endless drought E Yeah, I can find my own way out
[Outro]
A E A E A I'm headed off in search of rain E A E A Way back down in the land of sugar cane
