A Song About California Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Write a song about California, he [G]said
Write a song about California,
he [D]said to me before I left
But [C]I think I'll write a song
about him [G]instead
Now, I'm sitting up on Hollywood hill
Can't think of a single thing to sing [D]about this place,
maybe I never will
[C]Oo, I'm thinkin' bout you [G]still[D][G]
Walking down sunset boulevard
Never thought writing a song about [D]some
place could be this [C]hard
With you I don't know where
to [G]start[D][G][C][Eb][D]

[Verse 2]
Here's [C]to the boy
Who keeps me [G]up all night,
Who sings [C]exactly right,
And never lets me [G]know
Here's [C]to the one
The one with the [G]bright eyes,
Who makes me [A]realize,
I got a [Eb]long long way to go [D]to Califor[Gm]nia
[G][D][Gm][D][Gm][D][Gm][G][Ab][Eb]
[G]Now I am standing on this pier
With all the sights and sounds of Santa
[D]Monica still ringing in [C]my ears
I'm wishing you were [G]here
Write a song about California he [Ab]said
[G]I think it's something everybody's
got [D]to do before they're dead,
But [C]I wrote this song about
you [G]instead[D][C][D]

[Verse 3]
Here's [C]to the boy
Who keeps me [G]up all night,
Who sings exactly [C]right,
And never let[D]s me know
[G]No, no
Here's [C]to the one
The one with the [G]bright eyes,
[Bm]Who makes me r[G]eali[A]ze,
I got a [Eb]long long way [D]to go
[Gm]to C[Eb]alifornia[D][Gm][G][Gm]
[Eb]
[D]Sun[Gm]sets a bac[G]k down
[Gm]Venus [Eb]beach
[Gm]Famous [G]names that wrap [Gm]my
[Eb]feet[Gm]
Downscale folks [C]with upscale parties
[Gm]Let s do lunch,
lets [Eb]do Pi[D]lates[G]
Wasting mind[C]s for perf[D]ect bodi[C]es
[Gm]

[Verse 4]
Here's [Eb]to the boy
Who keep[Bb]s me up all night,
Who sing[D]s exa[Eb]ctly right,
And never lets me know
No, [Bb]no[D]
Here's [Eb]to the one
The one with the [D]bright eyes,
Who makes [C]me realize,
I got [F#]a long long way [F]to go to California
