_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] As I stand [C] here this evening, looking out over the metropolis of Los [E] Angeles, California,
[F] _ I can't help but think about the young lady [Am] that I met here.
So I wrote a song tonight, and I call [E] it my California [F] Girl. _ _
[Em] _ _ [C] _ California girl, _ you're living in a [Em] different [F] world. _ _
_ [C] Let the sun shine in _ right [F] here where my love begins. _ _
_ _ [Am] _ No, [C] I won't [F]
hurt you.
_ _ No, I won't make you cry, [A] no.
_ [D] California _ girl, _ I'm gonna love _ _ [G]
you [E] till the [C] day I die. _ _ _
Everybody help me [F] sing the song one time, yeah.
_ [Em] _ _ [C] California girl, _
_ [Em] you're [F] living by the sand and sea.
_ _ [C] And it means every little thing now, now [F] that you belong to me. _
_ _ _ [Am] _ Oh, [C] I'm gonna [F] make you happy.
_ _ Oh, I'm gonna see you [A] smile, yeah.
[D] _ My California, _ California, California.
[F] _ I'm gonna love you, [G] baby, till [C] the day I die, yeah. _
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ California girl, _ _ [F#] you're living in a different world.
Yes, you are.
[C#] And it means every little thing, darling, now [D#m] that you are my girl.
[F#] No, _
_ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ [G#m] I [F#] won't ever hurt you.
_ _ Baby, I won't see [A#] you cry, [D#] no.
My [D#] California, _ California, [F#] California. _ _ _
[G#] I'm gonna love you, baby, [C#] till the day I die, yeah.
_ [F#] Everybody help me sing the song one more time.
[C#] _ California girl, _
_ _ _ [F#] California girl, _
_ _ _ [C#] _ baby, baby, yes, I am.
_ [F#] Till the day, the day, the day, the day I die, [C#] yeah.
You see, I'm not ashamed tonight [F#] to say these words to the young lady
[F#] that I met in the metropolis [C#] of Los Angeles, California. _ _
And as I look out over [F#] the sky tonight,
through the fog and through the smog,
I can't help but [C#] think about that young girl.
Oh, oh, [F#] oh, baby. _ _ _
_ _ [A#] _ _ _ _ _ _
