Dear Lucky Stars,
Say, I thought you might need this song, because you might soon go camping, in California, in winter. If you are not going camping, it is still an absolutely fabulous song- why? Because their are just three easy chords, it repeats and repeats, the lyrics are by Woody Guthrie, and the simple tune by Billy Bragg and Wilco. Yep; it's a keeper!
Listen once and play it for the rest of your life!
California Stars

Verse 1:
A
I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight
E
On a bed of California stars
D
I'd like to lay my weary bones tonite
A
On a bed of California stars
Verse 2:
I'd love to feel your hand touching mine
And tell me why I must keep working on
Yes, i'd give my life to la my head tonight
On a bed of California stars
Verse 3:
I'd like to dream my troubles are away
On a bed of California stars
Jump up from a starbed and make another day
Underneath my California stars
Verse 4:
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine
So, I'd give this world just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars
