A      E    A    ECalifornia, California
A              E              BYou're such a wonder that I think I'll stay in bed
A          E      A          EBig time rollers, part time models
A            ESo much to plunder
        B7That I think I'll sleep instead 

F#                 F#mI don't know this sea of neon
F#                F#mThousand surfers, whiffs of Freon
    B                          A      E    And big nights back east with Rhoda
A     E  A  E  B7California please 

A          EThere's a moment
A          EI've been saving
A           E          BA kind of crucifix around this munchkin land
A           E         A        EUp north freezing, little me drooling
A            E          That's Entertainment's on at eight 
BCome on Ginger slam 


F#                 F#mI don't know this sea of neon
F#                F#mThousand surfers, whiffs of Freon
     B                  A     EAnd my new grandma Bea Arthur
A         E       A    E   B7Come on over 

F#m          BAin't it a shame that at the top
F#m                BPeanut butter and jam they served you
F#m                BAin't it a shame that at the top

F#m                    AmStill those soft skin boys can bruise you
E       F#m        B7Yes I fell for a streaker 


A  E  A  E  A  E  B

F#                 F#mI don't know this sea of neon
F#                 F#mThousand surfers, whiffs of freon 


            BAin't it a shame
        F#m             BThat all the world can't enjoy your mad traditions
F#m     BAin't it a shame that all the world
