A#m
Knock knock, who's there?
F
2012 is a brand new year
G#
Cleaning house, singing songs
F#
Shedding light and righting wrongs
A#m
Ding dong the witch ain't dead
F
She's still trying to take my bread
G#
Four more years 'til my girls all grown
          F#
Then the bitch gotta have to leave me alone
A#m
It's all good 'cause I'm as happy as a flea
F
On a mountain of dogs you see
G#                                      F#
A little music cured all the hurt and put
hate in six feet of dirt

Chorus:
A#m
I was looking for some heaven
F
There's no need to look no more
G#
California 37
F#
Took me right to heaven's door
A#m
Knock knock, woah oh
F
Rock and Roll
G#             F#
California 37 took me right to heaven's door

Here's to those who didn't think
Train could ever roll again
You were the fuel that I used when
Inspiration hit a dead end
San Francisco got it done, 415 took the 911
Thank you all for believing in
We won't let you down again
Truth is, it was attitude
Replaced greed with gratitude
Then replaced a pretty key dude
It's all truth, not being rude
Making love now, not mistakes
Working hard instead of looking for breaks
Came all the way from the eighth great lake
And found 37 reasons to stay

Chorus

I was looking for some heaven
There's no need to look no more
California 37
Took me right to heaven's door
