E A E
There was a California earthquake, in the year of '83
E B
It shook the living daylights out of the Owens County Seat
E A
Not a building still left standing when the dust had
E
cleared away
E B
Just a rumble in the distance all the way to San
E
Andrea
Verses the same as above
Oh Sherman Buck was driving his old mule into town
When a big one came and shook so hard, that it knocked him to the ground
Lord there opened up a hole so big, he thought his time was up
And it swallowed up that poor old mule and it just missed Sherman Buck
Chorus
A E
California earthquake you just don't know what you've done
E B
We may fall off in the ocean, but you'll never make us run
E A
You're a partner to the devil, but we ain't afraid
E
of him
E A E
We'll build ourselves another town so you can tear
B E
it down again
(Back to Verses chords)
Then came the quake of '99 that levelled Mission Creek
The earth was like an ocean churning, with waves of twenty feet
Lord it sounded like a thousand trains were screaming underground
Clean across to San Joachim, they heard that mournful sound
[chorus]
Then came one day the holocaust on San Franciso Bay
[Ninety] miles of walls came down like old Jericho that day
Might near everything the earthquake missed, a holy fire consumed
And left 'em smoke and the ashes of the dreams that can't be ruined (note 1)
[chorus]
Build ourselves another town so you can tear it down again
