INTRO 
 
G                D/F#                 Em    C 
She lived at the end of a little dirt road, 
G                D/F#         Em     C 
In a house where secrets go untold. 
G             D/F# 
Barefoot in a cotton dress, 
Em             C 
Dark hair in a tangled mess, 
G                  D/F#  C 
And a head full of crazy dreams. 
D 
She'd say, 
 
 
G   D/F#         C    
I'm going to California, 
G                 D/F#       C 
A place where the sun always shines. 
G        D/F#         C 
Well I'm going to California, 
       Am       D          G       D/F#   C 
And I'm leaving everything behind. 
 
 
G                  D/F#                   Em       C 
You can't help but feel just a little bit touched, 
G               D/F#                   Em    C 
When your Daddy loves you a little too much. 
G               D/F# 
You can wish on four-leaf clovers, 
Em                      C 
But all the fields have been plowed over, 
           G                 D/F#        C     
And there's  nothing left to do but fly away. 
D 
She'd say, 
 
 
G   D/F#         C    
I'm going to California, 
G                 D/F#       C 
A place where the sun always shines. 
G        D/F#         C 
Well I'm going to California, 
       Am       D          G 
And I'm leaving everything behind. 
 
 
    Am              G 
The stars burn like candles, 
        C            Am  G 
On that two lane highway. 
    Am              G 
She made a wish and disappeared, 
       D 
On her 18th birthday. 
 
She'd say, 
 
 
G   D/F#         C    
I'm going to California, 
G                 D/F#       C 
A place where the sun always shines. 
G        D/F#         C 
Well I'm going to California, 
       Am       D          G        
And I'm leaving everything behind.

G   D/F#         C 
I'm going to California, 
        Am      D            G    D/F#   C   G  D/F#  C 
And I'm leaving everything behind. 
        G    D/F#   C   G  D/F#   
Oh, California..... 
C             G  D/F#         C   G  D/F#  C 
I'm..............going to California. 
        G    D/F#   C    
Oh, California...... 
               G    D/F#   C    
Leave it all behind. 
    G  D/F#  C  G  D/F#  C  G 
California......
