Intro: G, Em, D, Em*, C
Verse I:
G Em
Why's everyone still singing about California?
D* Em C*
Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State?
G Em
I guess if you like sandy beaches and blue ocean water
D* Em C*
There's just something about it, to which I cannot relate
G Em
I need to see the leaves change and the snowflakes falling
D* Em C*
I need to hear the call, the wind whistling through the winter pines
Chorus:
D* A7 Em
Why's everyone still singing about California?
A7 G C*
Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State?
D* Em C*
And people still follow their dreams to sweet California
Am G C
And from time to time IÂ’ll pass on by, but I will never stay
Verse II:
G Em
Sure there are beautiful people, in the city of lost angels
D* Em C*
They're living like they're kings and queens, from some royal age
G Em
But fortune and fame won't save you, when California
D* Em C*
Is wiped out by the ring of fire or a great earthquake
Chorus:
D* A7 Em
Why's everyone still singing about California?
A7 G C*
Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State?
D* Em C*
And people still follow their dreams to sweet California
Am G C
And from time to time IÂ’ll pass on by, but I will never stay
Outro:
G
No I will never stay
C*, G
C* G
Never stay
C*, G
C* G
Never stay
