Working all day and the sun [G] don't shine.

time.
I feel the rain all the whole [G] night through.

blue.
[G] California blue, dreaming [D] all alone.
Nothing else [A] to do, California [D]
blue.
Everyday I [G]
pray, I'll be on [D] my way to love, [A]

blue.

One sunny day, [D] I'll get back again, [G]
somehow, [A] someway.
