Intro:
|| F# ||
F#It started in basements B
And it started in sheds F#
It started in backyards B
And was hidden under beds F# E/B
I turned on the TV B
Don't believe a word they sayF# E/B
We can't stay here B
And we can't get away F#
B There's a riot on F#Sunset B
And fires burn in the parkF# B
F# E/B [Note: On the B-snare 9th fret becomes 10th]B
The sun has set my friend
And California's dark
||A F#||
And over the screaming B
I heard a clear voice F#
I looked at my choices B
And I made a choice F# E/B
Smoke and ashes B
Tonight hide the stars F# E/B
The stop lights are red now, love B
We've come for what's ours F#
B There's a riot on F#Sunset B
And fires burn in the parkF# B
F# E/B [Note: On the B-snare 9th fret becomes 10th]B
The sun has set my friend
And California's dark
|| A || F#5 ||
F#5Come stand among the rattlesnakes
At the side of the desert road
And close your eyes and listen
B5To the music hard and cold F#5
Tonight the moon is blackened
Tonight the doors are shut
Behind the shuttered windows
WeB5 pray the sun will come up F#5
F#For something walks across these fields
For which there is no name
You might have heard different
BBut I was there when it came F#
It will start with a spark
And a great fire will grow
Don't know how I know it B
But I just know F#
There's a riot on Sunset B
And fires burn in the park F# B
The sun sets F#everywhere
And theB whole damn country's dark F# B
There's a riot on F#Sunset B
And fires burn in the park F# B
F# E/B [ Again with the 10th fret on the B ] B
The sun has set my friend

And California's dark
