                    G
A cold December day
                         Am
I saw her on the highway
                       G
I said I`m headed west

She said you`re goin` my way
             Am
Then she got in with me
             F
Somewhere in Tennessee
                E
She snuggled up close to me
    E7                     A
She kissed me and then she said


                            D
I want you to take me to my California Wine
Bm         C#m    F#m                E7                E
She said I got to get back where the bright sun shines
A                                       D               Bm
And then she turned my head around like California wine
             C#m7      F#m7           Bm7          E
And then she smiled at me and put her hand in mine
                F#m
And poured me a cup of wine
          E           F#m Gm G#m Am
sweet California wine


                              G
She said she thumbed all day
                             Am
From Wheeling West Virginia
                            G
She said I`ll make a trade

For all the love that`s in ya`
              Am
I can sit and talk to you
                     F
We`ll Share a cup of wine or two
               E
And I could be good to you
    E7                     A

Am                      G
We chased a fading sun
                                 Am
And watched the shadows falling

And as we sipped the wine
  G
I heard California calling
                   Am
Then she whispered in my ear
              F
And it became very clear
               E
I shifted into second gear
  E7                    A
I kissed her and then I said
