California On My Mind chords by Merle Haggard

Chords with lyrics

C majorC
Well I got California on my mind

             G7G7
I?m leaving this old town behind

C majorC
I?m tired of sitting and I?m tired of pining

FF
I?m going back where the sun is shining

C majorC     G7G7      C majorC
I got California on my mind

Well I got stuck in this dingy city

FF
But I?m not gonna stay

C majorC
I?m tired of these red brick buildings

D7D7         G7G7
And I?m gonna leave today


C majorC
It?s been one cold and dreadful winter

FF
And I?m going back to the grapevine center

C majorC     G7G7         C majorC
Pack up my things and be on my way


C majorC
Well I got California on my mind

             G7G7
I?m leaving this old town behind

C majorC
I?m tired of sitting and I?m tired of pining

FF
I?m going back where the sun is shining

C majorC     G7G7      C majorC
I got California on my mind

Well I got a gal in Redwood city

FF
That I?d sure like to see

C majorC
And I?d bet my bottom dollar

D7D7          G7G7
She?s still sweet on me


C majorC
Well I?m a homesick bat couldn?t be no sicker

FF
I?m proud to say that I?m a prune picker

C majorC       G7G7      C majorC
This town and me just don?t agree


C majorC
Well I got California on my mind

             G7G7
I?m leaving this old town behind

C majorC
I?m tired of sitting and I?m tired of pining

FF
I?m going back where the sun is shining

C majorC     G7G7      C majorC
