Song: California Stars

Artist: Wilco

The basic strum for each measure is D D DU DU.

The whole song is a repetition of this chord sequence. You can get some variation by lifting your index finger in the C chord, your ring finger in the D chord and again your ring finger in the C chord plus adding your pinkie on the B string 3rd fret. I hope this explanation will make sense.
Intro:

G D C G

G Id like to rest / my heavy head tonight D On a bed / of California stars C Id like to lay my / weary bones tonight G On a bed / of California stars G Id love to feel / your hand touching mine D And tell me why / I must keep working on C Yes, Id give my life / just to lay my head tonight G On a bed / of California stars G D C G G Id like to dream / my troubles all away D On a bed / of California stars C Jump up from my star-bed / n make another day G Underneath my / California stars G They hang like grapes / on vines that shine D And warm the lovers glass / like a friendly wine C So Id give this world / just to dream a dream with you G On our bed / of California stars G D C G
In the recording they repeat the two verses, rising the singing at the chord changes and then fade out on:

G D C G
