[Intro]
B7 - B7
[Verse 1]
B7
Living out here in the golden state and I can’t pay the rent
B7
Fifteen dollars from going broke and moving into a tent
E7 B7
This land of gracious living sure could use a little grace
F#7 E7 B7
Is anybody left out here at all who doesn’t dream of leaving this place
[Chorus]
E7
Oh California
B7
You’ve been a friend of mine
E7 B7
From the Cascade Mountains to the San Ysidro line
E7 B7 E7
From the blue Pacific to the snow up on Cajon
A E B7
I was California born but my California’s gone
[Verse 2]
B7
I’ve lived through some hard times, thought I’d seen the worst
B7
But I can feel the rumble of the dam about to burst
E7 B7
Taxes keep on going up, another family business closes down (they’re closing
down)
F#7 E7 B7
And every freeway’s jammed up with a million people leaving town
[Chorus]
E7
Oh California
B7
You’ve been a friend of mine
E7 B7
From the Cascade Mountains to the San Ysidro line
E7 B7 E7
From the blue Pacific to the snow up on Cajon
A E B7
I was California born but my California’s gone
[Bridge]
F# E B7
I heard all the gold in California
F# E B7
Is somewhere in a bank up in Beverly Hills
F# E B7
But I get this funny feeling
C#7 F#
The politicians took it all to pay their bills
[Verse 3]
B7
So goodbye to the Sunset strip, goodbye golden gate
B7
Goodbye to the wildfires burning down the state
E7 B7
We all thought the San Andreas would be the thing that did you in
F#7 E7 B7
But it can’t hold a candle to the damage from corrupt and greedy men
[Chorus]
E7
Oh California
B7
You’ve been a friend of mine
E7 B7
From the Cascade Mountains to the San Ysidro line
E7 B7 E7
From the blue Pacific to the snow up on Cajon
A E B7
I was California born but my California’s gone
A E B7
I was California born but my California’s gone
[Outro]
B7 E B7
