California

Intro: Am  C  G   D 

Verse 1 

Am              C            G 
   Well, he was from a small town 
      D                     
   In Northern Mississippi 
Am         C                   G 
   She was raised on the Puget Sound 
   D 
   A third generation hippie 
Am            C                 G 
   Fate would take them to L.A. County 
               D                  F 
   And get 'em stuck in a traffic jam 
                                D7 
   An El Camino and a red Trans Am 

Am  C  G   D 

Verse 2 

Am          C             G 
   Her stereo was blaring Dylan 
       D 
   The Bootleg Sessions 
Am              C                G 
   And, oh, The Times They Are A'Changin' 
          D 
   Made a pretty good impression 
Am            C                   G 
   She looked over and caught him smilin' 
           D                  F 
   Under a California setting sun 
                            D7 
   They fell in love on the 101 


 

Am     G       D     F 
   California,   California 
Am     G                  D 
   California dreams come true 


Verse 3 

Am                C           G 
   Well, they got in with the In-crowd 
           D                   Am 
   And got off on the rock 'n' roll 
             C                    G 
   Cocaine's free and the music's loud 
       D                      Am 
   Backstage at the Hollywood Bowl 
                C                G 
   They got the house in Topanga Canyon 
        D                    F 
   They partied at the Viper Room 
                          D7 
   Blendin' into the neon gloom 


Chorus (2X) 


Bridge: 

             F 
   Well, you see them down on the Sunset Strip 
   G 
   Trying so hard to be so hip 
      F 
   Manhattan Beach to Malibu 
        G 
   It's all about the ocean view 
       F 
   And who you know in Hollywood 
        G 
   It's cut-throat but it's understood 
F 
   Champagne, Kool-Aid, drink it down 
   D7 
   You're the toast of Tinsel Town… 


Chorus (2X) 


(guitar solo through repeats of the Am  C  G   D cadence)
