Strum
D-DU-UDU
[D]  X4
 Raised  up on midwestern  dreams
 only  a few shall get
 what  everyone shall  need
 I  took my family's burden
 I strapped  it to my chest
 A few  hundred bucks and a kiss for luck
 I pointed  my dreams west
 
 To California.....
  Come..........  rescue me
  California......
  I am almost free
 Kept  on drivin into  the settin' sun
galaxies  of angels  welcome everyone
 I  took my heart out of its box
 attached  it to my sleeve
 well  I will be here every night
 because  thats what I believe
 
 In California.....
  Come...........  rescue me
  California......
  I  am almost free
 I  will find my love
 I will know my peace
 I  will seek my truth
 I am almost free
I  am almost free...........
 I am almost free
 I am almost free
 I am almost free
 In California......
 I am almost  free
 In California........
 I am almost  free
 Rescue Me - California........
 I am almost  free
