Biografía:
Dave Alvin (born November 11, 1955, in Downey, California), is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. He has been one of the leading proponents of 'roots' or 'American' music, bringing together elements of rock-and-roll, blues, rural and tejano music.
Alvin and his older brother Phil Alvin grew up loving Americana, country and blues. In 1979 they formed The Blasters with friends Bill Bateman and John Bazz.
Shortly after leaving the Blasters, Alvin joined X as lead guitarist after the departure of Billy Zoom.

Well, I left my home and my one true love
C G/add4b Am7
East of the Ohio River
C C/G
My father said we'd never wed
C G/add4b Am7
For I had me no gold nor silver
Em Fadd9
But my darling dear, please shed no tears
C G/add4b Am7
But I think that it's fair to warn you
Fadd9 C G/add4b Am7
That I return to claim your hand
Em Fadd9 C
As the King of California
C C/G
Over deserts hot and mountains cold
C G/add4b Am7
I traveled the Indian country
C C/G
Whispering your name under lonesome skies
C G/add4b Am7
Remembering my only company
Em Fadd9
But my darling dear, have no fears
C G/add4b Am7
But I think that it's fair to warn you
Fadd9 C G/add4b Am7
That I return to claim your hand
Em F/add9 C
As the King of California
C C/G
I went up from Sacramento town
C G/add4b Am7
To the Sierra gold fields
C C/G
And I worked my stake on a riverbank
C G/add4b Am7
Dreaming just how a rich man feels
Em Fadd9
But my darling dear, listen here
C G/add4b Am7
But I think that it's fair to warn you
Fadd9 C G/add4b Am7
That I return to claim your hand
Em Fadd9 C
As the King of California
C C/G
Now, the dead man's lying at my feet
C G/add4b Am7
Who tried to steal my earnings
C C/G
Yet, I still recall your tender kiss
C G/add4b Am7
Though this bullet in my chest is burning
Em Fadd9
But my darling dear, please have no fear
C G/add4b Am7
But I think that it's fair to warn you
Fadd9 C G/add4b Am7
That I return to claim your hand
Em Fadd9 C
As the King of California
Fadd9 C G/add4b Am7
But I'll I return to claim your hand

As the King of California
