California On My Mind chords by Merle Haggard

C
Well I got California on my mind

                          G7
I'm leaving this old town behind

C
I'm tired of sitting and I'm tired of pining

F
I'm going back where the sun is shining

C         G7           C
I got California on my mind

Well I got stuck in this dingy city

F
But I'm not gonna stay

C
I'm tired of these red brick buildings

D7                  G7
And I'm gonna leave today


C
It's been one cold and dreadful winter

F
And I'm going back to the grapevine center

C          G7                  C
Pack up my things and be on my way


C
Well I got California on my mind

                          G7
I'm leaving this old town behind

C
I'm tired of sitting and I'm tired of pining

F
I'm going back where the sun is shining

C         G7           C
I got California on my mind



Well I got a gal in Redwood city

F
That I'd sure like to see

C
And I'd bet my bottom dollar

D7                   G7
She's still sweet on me


C
Well I'm a homesick bat couldn?t be no sicker

F
I'm proud to say that I'm a prune picker

C             G7            C
This town and me just don't agree


C
Well I got California on my mind

                          G7
I'm leaving this old town behind

C
I'm tired of sitting and I'm tired of pining

F
I'm going back where the sun is shining

C         G7           C
