CALIFORNIA
Capo @ 4 in C/Am

I (C) come from California
With a banjo on my (G) knee
I was (C) off to Oklahoma
To study (G C) Christianity

I’m (Am) going back to California
A little place in the San (E) Joaquin
(Am, stepping down A G F# F E)
Where the back pasture builds
To Sierra foothills
And Kaweah tumbles down cool and clean

I’m going back to California
A little girl called Cathaline
She plays first clarinet in the band
Where we met and I’m still seventeen

(Am F) California! (C G) California! (2)

I’m going back to California
Maybe back to Tehachapi
With it’s lilacs a beets and the Monolith concretes
Falls like snow on the streets

I’m going back to California
With my sunshine memories
Where the moon on the beach
Pushes Time out of reach
And the eons float in on the breeze

California! California! (5)

(C) 2020 Royal T Music
