[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][C][F][C][F][C][F][C][F][C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]I'm the piano player,
[F]dow[C]n at Edd[F]ies' bar
[C]And [F]Rachel she's the [C]waitress
[F]who want to [C]be [F]a s[C]tar[F]
She [Bb]swears she's gonna make it,
[F]make it big someday
And she'll send me picture post[G]cards

[Interlude 1]
from L.A.
[G][C][F][C][F][C][F][G][C][F]

[Verse 2]
[C]When it's tim[F]e for clo[C]sing[F]
I play [C]while [F]Rachel [C]cleans[F]
[C]She listens [F]to my [C]music,
[F]I lis[C]ten to [F]her dre[C]ams[F]
[Bb]She sewars she's gonna make it,
she's [F]going all the way
And I say, send me picture post
[G]cards from L.A.
[C][F][C]

[Verse 3]
Send me [Am]postcards from L.A. signed
with [F]love forevermore
Picture post[Am]cards from L.A. to hang
on my re[F]frigerator door
[Dm]Rachel, if you [C]find me one,
I'd love a [F]picture [G]of [C]the California [F]sun[G]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 4]
[G][F]
When [C]Rachel [F]shares [C]my [F]pillow
she [C]always [F]asks me things[C][F]
Like do [C]I really [F]think she's [C]pretty,
[F]do I l[C]ike the way she[F] sings?
[C]I d[F]on'[Bb]t know how to answer,
so I al[F]ways smile and say
I say, send me picture post
[G]cards from L.A.
[C][F][C]

[Verse 5]
Send me [Am]postcards from L.A. signed
with [F]love forevermore
Picture [Am]postcards from L.A. to hang
on my re[F]frigerator door
[Dm]Rachel, if you [C]find me one,
I'd love a [F]picture [G]of [C]the California [F]sun[G]
[C][F][C][F][C][F]

[Verse 6]
[Ab]
Sometimes [Bb]Rachel stands up in
[Eb]the middle of the [Ab]bar
And does [Bb]a scene from
the late [Eb]show[Ab]
We all [Bb]clap our hands as she
[Eb]puts her apron [Ab]on
And says next [Bb]week,
I'm gonna go
[C][F][C]

[Verse 7]
[F]
She'll [C]even [F]buy [C]a ticket [F]and pac[C]k
her [F]things [C]to [F]leave
[C]Though we all [F]know [C]the story[F]
we pre[C]tend that [F]we believe
[C]But[F] so[Bb]mething always comes up,
something [F]always makes her stay
And still no picture [G]postcards
[C]from [F]L.A.[C]

[Verse 8]
Send me [Am]postcards from L.A. signed
with [F]love forevermore
Picture [Am]postcards from L.A. to hang
on my re[F]frigerator door
[Dm]Rachel, if you [C]find me one,
I'd love a [F]picture of [G]the California [C]sun
[F][C][F][C]

[Verse 9]
I'm the piano [F]player
[C]down at Eddie's [F]bar
And [C]Rachel she's the waitress

[Outro 1]
who wants to be a star
[F]
