California

	  		
          F    A   Dm 
There's a place I know, 
          Bb F     A 
Where the redwoods blow, 
          Dm       F     C         Bb 
Where the Colorado River feeds the sea, 
         Dm      C             F 
If you'd care to share it with me. 

          F    A    Dm 
There are wide blue skies, 
        Bb   F    A 
In your cloudless eyes, 
      Dm             F         C         Bb 
And I think that California is what they see, 
         Dm          C           F 
Will you come to California with me? 

       F   A     Dm 
Oh the sun grows warm, 
       Bb       F      A 
In the blue California dawn, 
      Dm             F            C       Bb 
As it rises from the ocean like a burning tree, 
         Dm          C           F 
Will you come to California with me? 

        F    A     Dm 
And the moon glows pale, 
     Bb    F     A 
As a great white whale, 
      Dm              F            C         Bb 
As we sailed to Chattanooga on the Robert E. Lee, 
         G           Bb          F 
Will you come to California with me? 

         F        A   Dm 
Have you seen the Dow Jones? 
       Bb       F      A 
Or the Monument Valley Stones? 
           Dm             F            C       Bb 
Where they buried all the giants after Wounded Knee, 
         G           Bb          F 
Will you come to California with me? 

        F              A            Dm 
All the Presidents are smiling in a line, 
       Bb      F                  A 
In the hills behind the Hollywood sign, 
         Dm            F         C    Bb 
Where it overlooks the Statue of Liberty, 
         G           Bb          F 
Will you come to California with me? 

? 
     F          A    Dm 
If I stay here, I'll freeze, 
         Bb          F       A 
Will you come to California, please? 
         Dm             F      C          Bb 
Will you do me this one favour before you leave...  
    G           Bb 
And come to California?

        F      A   Dm 
All the dreams you killed, 
       Bb    F    A 
Do you dream them still? – 
         Dm           F       C        Bb 
Are they there in California? Wait and see, 
    G           Bb          F 
And come to California with me. 

          Dm           F              C     Bb 
And we'll cruise along Broadway in a 'Model T', 
         G           Bb          F 
When you come to California with me. 

     Dm      F             C      Bb 
In a big Top Hat like John F Kennedy, 
         G           Bb          F 
When you come to California with me. 

Dm      F          C         Bb 
I'll be brave, and you'll be free, 
         G           Bb          F 
When you come to California with me. 

C    Bb   G    Bb   F
