GmCm
Going to calfornia,
GmCm
To live in the summer sun
GmCm
The streets are made of silver,
GmCm
I'm like a rabbit on the run
GmCm
Philadelphia freedom
GmCm
Well, it's not like you have heard
GmCm
The city of brotherly love
GmCm
Is full of pain and hurt
ChorusDmCm
I'm going to California
GmCm
To find my pot of gold
GmCm
Corruption on every corner
GmCm
Hustlers selling sweets
GmCm
baby is home crying
GmCm
While her momma's on the streets
GmCm
Every bodys dying
GmCm
Have heard the news today
GmCmA women in the Philly is mournin'
GmCmA bullet took another son away
ChorusDmCm
I'm going to California
GmCm
I'm going far far away

GmCm
I'm going to California
GmCm
To resurrect my soul
GmCm
The sun is always shining
GmCm
Or at least thats what I'm told
ChorusDmCm
I'm going to California
GmCm
To find a better life for me
DmCm
I'm going to California
GmCm
I'll write and tell you what I see
DmCm
I'm going to California

Somebody say a prayer for me (she fades out)
