       who knew before he saw them making out in Yuma

    Fm                                C                   G (2)

          that she had been loving someone new

                 F5 (2)          D5 (2)                        E7 (2)

    but California not California how could you?

         New Mexico had always hated California

    Am                          G             Dm                 G

         and though he knew that Arizona wore the pants

    Am           G                        C                        F

         he got loaded then he started throwing punches

    Fm             C             E7       F     G

         the poor injun never had a chance

     

      C (2)          E7    Am

    scissors cut paper

    F         C       G (2)

    paper covers rock

    C (2)              E7   Am

    rock crushes scissors

      F (2)     G (2)    F    Fm     C (hold)

    scissors fall     apart
