F#m E Bm From the sharks and the chardonnay C# F#m E Bm C# F#m In California in California.
F#m Four in the morning, we were in our beds Bm The swaying palm trees above our heads E Woke up to the primal rumbling sound F#m When the Northridge quake ripped open the ground Bm C# F#m California California.
