[Bm]
[B] [E]
[D] Submitted for your [Am] approval.
A busload of terrorists on a [B] road the travel agent never told me about.
A road leading to the [Am] shadowy tip of nowhere.
To the land of the different, the bizarre, the [G#m] unexplained.
I thought they were headed in the sun.
[B] Not [A] quite.
[B] These visitors are trying to go home again.
But where they're headed is [A] another dimension entirely.
One of wonder and [G#m] imagination.
Fasten your seatbelts.
Three posts up [Bm] ahead.
As [A] they take a turn into the sunlight [N] zone.

Well, these post girls are here.
I've been [A] waiting most hours.
Beware.
[E] In the sun and girls with the way they talk.
[F#] They knock me out when I'm down there.
[B] From the impressed farmer's daughters.
They [F#m] lead me to feel alright.
[E] In the dawn, girls with the way they kiss.
[F#] They keep their boyfriends warm at night.
I [B] didn't know.
I wish they all [C#m] could be in California.
[A] I wish they all [Bm] could be in California.
[G] I wish they all [Am] could be in California.
[B] The wind blows and the sun shines.
And [A] the girls all get so mad.
[E] I make a friend for he.
While I'm posed [F#] by a punk being the saddest.
[B] I've been all around this great big world.
And [A] I've seen all kinds of [E]
girls.
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the States.
Back [F#] to the cutest girls in the world.
I [B] didn't know.
I wish they all [C#m] could be in California.

Now, but for them, [B] this is only the beginning.
