[C#] [C#m]
[G#]
[C#] Like a sound you hear [F#] that lingers in [E] your ear, but you can't forget [F#] from sundown [C#] to sunset
[D#m] [E] [F#] It's [C#] all in the air, [D#m] you hear it [E] everywhere, no matter what you do, [F#] it's gonna [C#] grab a hold [D#m] on [E] you
[F#]
California [C#m] soul
[A] The [G#m] [G#]
sun [D#] comes up [F#] every morning, [C#]
[A#] and [D#] if you listen, [A#m] oh, so carefully
[C#] The winds that ride [F#] on the highlands, [D#] whistle those mellow [F] beats, show the [A#m] people's time to sing
And that's how the [G#] surf be brought back [D#] to [F#]
California [C#m] soul
[F#m] [A] California [C#] soul
[F#]
[C#] When you hear the beat, [D#m] you wanna [E] pat your feet, and you got [F#] to move, cause it's really [C#] such a groove [G#m] night
[C#m] [F#]
Put [C#] some brand new kind [D#m] of thinking [E] in your mind, and you can't go wrong, [F#] cause you're grooving [C#] all day [D#m] [E] long
[F#] California [C#m] soul
[A]
[G#] California [G#m] soul
[G#]
[F] The [A#m] melody and the [F#] beat, [C#m] y'all, [D#] but it didn't seem [C#] complete, yes, until they saw two lovers kissing
[F#]
They [D#] knew just what [G] was missing, [F] your [A] happy [A#m] [C#] feeling, because they had added that loving [D#] feeling [F#] to [C#m] California soul
[A] California [C#] [F#] soul
[E] [F#] We'll get with [C#] it, sound your [F#] music, and sing with [C#m] it, and we'll [F#] go [C#] with [D#m] it, early [C#m] in the morning, till [F#] the sun goes down
[C#] California [D#m] soul
It's in the air, [E] it's in the air
[F#] [C#] [D#m] [C#m] [F#]
[C#] [D#m] [C#m]
