When the wintry winds start blowing
F C
And the snow is starting to fall
Am C F
Then my eyes turn Westward knowing
C F C
That's the place I love the best of all
C G
California, I've been blue
Am7 F
Since I've been away from you
C G
I can't wait 'til I get going
F C
Even now I'm starting in a call
C G
California, here I come
Am7 F
Right back where I started from
C G Am7
Where bowers of flowers bloom in the spring
F G
Each morning at dawning, birdies sing and everything
C
A sun-kissed miss said, "Don't be late"
G
That's why I can hardly wait
F G
Open up that Golden Gate
C G
California, here I come
C G Am7 F
C G
California, here I come, yeah
Am F
Right back where I started from
C G Am7 G/B Am
Where bowers of flowers bloom in the spring
F G
Each morning at dawning, birdies sing and everything
C
A sun-kissed miss said, "Don't be late"
G
Oh, that's why I can hardly wait
F G C
C'mon, c'mon, open up, open up, open up that Golden Gate
C G C
California, here I come
