These are All My Exes Live In La chords by Lola Kirke feat. First Aid Kit on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Intro]
G  Am  C  G

[Verse]
                 G
First came, ol' sunglasses
 inside
         Am7
Then the one who wouldn't
let me drive
       C
Then along came the one with
                          G
the long hair just like mine
          G
Then the one with
the cowboy hat
      Am7
Rhinestones and all of that
          C
Then the one with
the suit and tie

A little too nice so
 I had to say "bye"
            Am
I'm peacin' out and adiosin'
 C
Couple of 'em, I'm just ghostin'

[Chorus]
            G
And all my exes live in L.A
       Am7
That's why I'm on this freeway
 C
Running from the city like
                      G
 a bat out of Beverly Hills

        G
All my exes livе in L.A.
        Am7
So I'ma make like George
 and hеad straight
         C
For the mountains or the desert
                           G
or my mama's or anywhere else

[Verse]
                G
Don't mind the traffic
 or the haze
         Am7
The sun shining every day
     C
California's, oh, so sweet
      G
Them hippies been good to me
          G
But it's time to say goodbye
        Am7
To that old Hollywood sign
    C
And if you need a reason
         G
Here's exactly I'm leaving

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – G – Am7 – C (I – V – vi7 – I in C major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
