California instructional video (original song)

This is the song I wrote called “California” which is featured on our family’s bluegrass album “Shenandoah.” I write most of my music on the piano so here’s originally how it was written and I have the chords and lyrics posted here in the description. Thank you all so much for your encouragement with my original music ♥️

[verse 1]
C Em Fmaj7
Memories fade slowly
C Em Fmaj7
No please don’t go, not yet
C Em Fmaj7
I was your one and only
C Em Fmaj7
And I’m not ready to forget
F G
All the times we shared together
F G
All the words we never said, and I remember

[chorus]
C Em Fmaj7
When we almost went to california
C Em Fmaj7
We almost fell in love in the sand
C Em Fmaj7
And you almost told me to be your woman

So you’ll al - ways almost be my man

[verse 2]
C Em Fmaj7
I think it was late last summer
C Em Fmaj7
I saw the distance in your eyes
C Em Fmaj7
You said that you found another
C Em Fmaj7
And then you told me not to cry
F G
But I knew that’s when it started
F G
The beginning of the end, and I remembered

C Em Fmaj7
When we almost went to california

C Em Fmaj7
I guess it was late last winter
C Em Fmaj7
Snow falling all around

The wedding bells rang she entered
C Em Fmaj7
But I left without a sound
F G
Oh I know she’ll always love you
F G
But Heaven knows that so will I, and I’ll remember

[chorus]
C Em Fmaj7
When we almost went to california
