[Verse 1]

  D                       A
I met him one day in the Rockies
           G                    D
Where the night air tasted like wine
                                 A
The winter was hard and had me starving
        G                        D
When the two of them found me in time
          G                        A
Then one night I crashed north of Reno
    G                     D
I'd been on the road too long
                                  A
Then I woke to the warmth of her fire
          G                        D
And the sweet welcome home of his song


[Chorus]
           G                  A
It was the California Kid and Reemo
G                     D
Lending me a helping hand
           G                  A
It was the California Kid and Reemo
G
Teaching me to love
    A7                           D
And teaching me to live off the land


[Verse 2]
   D                         A
I thanked them and headed for Oregon
      G                        D
The trees were the walls of my home
                                    A
But the rain soaked my bones every morning
         G                        D
And the chill made me feel more alone
         G                       A
And just when I thought I should end it
     G                         D
The world didn't need men like me
                              A
My mind heard the song of my two friends
         G                     D
And the sun started shining on me


[Chorus]
           G                  A
It was the California Kid and Reemo
G                     D
Lending me a helping hand
           G                  A
It was the California Kid and Reemo
G
Teaching me to love
    A7                           D
And teaching me to live off the land


[Instrumental]
G   Em   A


[Chorus]
           G                  A
It was the California Kid and Reemo
G                     D
Lending me a helping hand
           G                  A
It was the California Kid and Reemo
G
Teaching me to love
    A7                           D
And teaching me to live off the land.
