just a rough busking version of a fantastic song,

long live the magnetic fields

Intro: B Ab E, F# B with this riff:

e--0-2-4-4-2

b------ 0-2-4-4-5 5-4-2-0-0

g------ 3-4

B F# B

See them on the big bright screen

B E F#

tan and blonde and seventeen

B F# B

eating non-food keeps them mean

E F#

but they're young forever

B

if they must grow up

Ab E

they marry dukes and earls

F# B

I hate California girls

B F# B

They ain't broke so they put on airs

E F#

the faux folks sans derrieres

B F# B

they breathe coke and they have affairs

E F#

with each passing rock star

B

they come on like squares

Ab E

then get off like squirrels

F# B

I hate California girls

B Ab E F# B

(with riff)

then Bridge:

G A

Looking down their perfect noses

F#m G

at me and my kind

G A

do they think we won't-

E

well nevermind

G A

laughing through their perfect teeth

F#m G

at everyone I know

G A

do they think we won't

E

get up and go

F#

so

B F# B

I have planned my grand attacks

E F#

I will stand behind their backs

B F# B

with my brand-new battle-axe

E F#

then will they taste my wrath?

B

They will hear me say

Ab E

as the pavement whirls

F# B

"I hate California girls.."
