[D]
Working all day, in the sun [G] don't shine, trying to [A] get by, and I'm just killing [D] time.
I feel the rain, all the whole [G] night through, far away [Em] from you, [A]
California [D] blue.
California [G] blue, dreaming [D] all alone, nothing else [A] to do, California [D] blue.
Everyday I [G] pray, I'll be on [D] my way, saving love [A] for you, [D] California blue.
[A] One sunny day, [D] I'll get back again,
[G] somehow, [A] someway, [D] but I don't know when.
[A] California blue, California [D] blue, living my life, with you on my [G] mind.
Thinking [A] of things, that I left far [D] behind.
It's been so long, doing all I [G] can do, to get back [Em] to you, [A]
California [D] blue.
California [G] blue, California blue, California [D] blue, California [A] blue, California [D] blue.
Everyday I [G] pray, I'll be on my [D] way, saving love [A] for you, California blue.
[D] One [A] sunny day, [D] I'll get back again,
[G] somehow, [A] someway, [D] but I don't know when.
California [A] blue, California [D] blue, still [Em] missing you.
[A]
California [D] blue, still [Em] missing you.
[A]
California [D] blue, still [Em] missing you.
[A]
California [D]
blue.
