[D] [C#m] [D]
[A] I sit [Bm] here by my [E] window pane, and [C#m] all I see is the [F#m] falling rain.
[Bm] And I can [E] feel the blues coming [A] down on me, if [Bm] only wishing [E] were for me.
[C#m] There's a place I'd [F#m] like to be, [Bm] but my wishes [E] never do come [A] true.
From [Em] California [D] home, my man, [Em] I want to feel your [D] warm sunshine.
[E] I [Bm] know that it would [E] set me free, [C#m] just to feel that [F#m] ocean breeze.
[Bm] And I could [E] hear a good song, [A] night or day.
Oh, [Bm] I would walk a [E] country mile, to [C#m] see your California [F#m] smile.
But [Bm] these old dark clouds [E] tell me it's so [A] far away.
[Em]
California, [D] oh my man, [Em] I want to feel your [D] warm sunshine.
[E]
[Bm] [E] [C#m] [F#m]
[D] [E] [A]
[Am] I guess I [D] could go walking [G] just the same, [Am] and make [D] believe it's [G] California rain.
[F#m] But it's not the same, [Em] [A] and it's a shame.
I [Bm] guess I'll sit here [E] in my room, [C#m] and try to think of [F#m] a happy tune.
[Bm] I watch a [E] TV show I've [A] seen before.
Oh, [Bm] Mr.
Sun, you've [E] let me down.
The [C#m] least you could do is [F#m] call me around.
[Bm] Would you please tell [E] me what you are [A] waiting for?
[Em]
California, [D] oh my man, [Em] I want to feel your [D] warm sunshine [E] today.
[Bm] Hey, hey, hey.
