[A] [E]
[A]
I'm going to play a song about California.
He said to [E] me before I left, but [D] I think I'll write a song about [Am] him instead.
[A] Now, I'm sitting up on Hollywood Hill.
Can't think of a single [Em] thing to sing about this place, maybe I never [D] will,
but I'm thinking about you [E] still.
[A] What can I say?
Never thought writing [E] a song about some place could be this [D] high.
What do I do?
I don't know where to [E] start.
[D] Here's to the one [A] who kept me up all night,
who sings [D] exactly right, and never lets [C#m] me know.
[D] Here's to the one [C#m] with the bright eyes,
who makes [B] me realize
I got a long, long [E] way to go to [Am]
California.
[C]
[F] [A]
Now, I am standing on this page
[F#m]
without the sun, sun, sun, [E] sun, the moon, and clouds are ringing in my [D] face.
I'm wishing you [A] were here.
About California, he said,
I think it's something that [E] he's got to do before that day,
[D] but I wrote this song about [C#m] you instead.
[F#] [Bm]
[E] [D] Here's to the one [A] who kept me up all night,

[D] Here's to the one [C#m] with the bright eyes,
who makes [B] me realize I got a long, long way [E] to go [Am] to California.
Sun says about the planet's beach,
who famous [D] names are [Am] at my feet.
Down there [D] for a week, up there [Am] party,
bless you, God bless you, but [D] I'm wasting my perfect [Am] body.
[F] Here's to the one who [C] kept me up all night,
who [F] sings exactly right, [C] and never lets me know.
[F] Here's to the one, the [Em] one with the bright eyes,
who [D] makes me realize [G#] I got a long, long [G] way to go to [Am] California.
