[Verse 1]
F A Dm
There's a place I know,
A# F A
Where the redwoods blow,
Dm F C A#
Where the Colorado River feeds the sea,
Dm C F
If you'd care to share it with me.
[Verse 2]
F A Dm
There are wide blue skies,
A# F A
In your cloudless eyes,
Dm F C A#
And I think that California is what they see,
Dm C F
Will you come to California with me?
[Verse 3]
F A Dm
Oh the sun grows warm,
A# F A
In the blue California dawn,
Dm F C A#
As it rises from the ocean like a burning tree,
Dm C F
Will you come to California with me?
[Verse 4]
F A Dm
And the moon glows pale,
A# F A
As a great white whale,
Dm F C A#
As we sailed to Chattanooga on the Robert E. Lee,
G7 A# F
Will you come to California with me?
[Verse 5]
F A Dm
Have you seen the Dow Jones?
A# F A
Or the Monument Valley Stones?
Dm F C A#
Where they buried all the giants after Wounded Knee,
G7 A# F
Will you come to California with me?
[Verse 6]
F A Dm
All the Presidents are smiling in a line,
A# F A
In the hills behind the Hollywood sign,
Dm F C A#
Where it overlooks the Statue of Liberty,
G7 A# F
Will you come to California with me?
[Verse 7]
F A Dm
If I stay here, I'll freeze,
A# F A
Will you come to California, please?
Dm F C A#
Will you do me this one favour before you leave...
G7 A#
And come to California?

F A Dm
All the dreams you killed,
A# F A NC
Do you dream them still? –-
Dm F C A#
Are they there in California? Wait and see,
G7 A# F
And come to California with me.
[Verse 8]
Dm F C A#
And we'll cruise along Broadway in a 'Model T',
G7 A# F
When you come to California with me.
[Verse 9]
Dm F C A#
In a big Top Hat like John F Kennedy,
G7 A# F
When you come to California with me.
[Verse 10]
Dm F C A#
I'll be brave, and you'll be free,
G7 A# F
When you come to California with me.
