IntroFDmC Dm* BbVerseFDm
Why's everyone still singing about California?
C* Dm A#*
Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State?
FDm
I guess if you like sandy beaches and blue ocean water
C* Dm A#*
There's just something about it, to which I cannot relate
FDm
I need to see the leaves change and the snowflakes falling
C* Dm A#*
I need to hear the call, the wind whistling through the winter pines
Chorus
C* G7Dm
Why's everyone still singing about California?
G7F A#*
Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State?
C* Dm A#*
And people still follow their dreams to sweet California
GmFBb
And from time to time I’ll pass on by, but I will never stay
VerseFDm
Sure there are beautiful people, in the city of lost angels
C* Dm A#*
They're living like they're kings and queens, from some royal age
FDm
But fortune and fame won't save you, when California
C* Dm A#*
Is wiped out by the ring of fire or a great earthquake
Chorus
C* G7Dm
Why's everyone still singing about California?
G7F A#*
Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State?

And people still follow their dreams to sweet California
GmFBb
And from time to time I’ll pass on by, but I will never stay
