Verse 1:
Bm           A                    G
  Walked the sidewalks of San Francisco
Em          G                      D
  Spent the night in a town called    Weed
Bm              A      G
  Soaked up the sun on Mission Street
Em              G         D
  Filled up the day in Chinatown

Chorus:
G
  It's been said before
               D
But it's worth saying
Em                                    D
  No one could dream a place like California
G
  It's been written before
         D

  No one could dream a place like California

  Walking along downtown L.A. streets
Em         G                  D
  Sidewalk homes of makeshift shanties
Bm           A                       G
  Recall the sight of the old growth standing,
Em              G              D
  thinking of a dark Encinitas morning


Chorus:
G
  It's been said before

Verse 3:
Bm         A                       G
  Conjunto Station stranded on the freeway
Em               G                   D
  The road sign, schoolbus, cultural landscape
Bm       A                         G
  Making way through mountains and desert
Em          G                    D
  Eastbound daybreak carrying it all back home


Chorus:
G
  It's been said before
               D
But it's worth saying
Em                                    D
  No one could dream a place like California
G
  It's been written before
                 D
But it's worth repeating
Em             G                      D
  No one could dream a place like California
