verse:
Dm
California woman
Hanging heavy on my mind
Gm
Never found another like her
Dm break:
Guess she was just one of a kind
N.C. Gm C
She never wrapped no strings around me
F Am Dm
She could treat a man so fine
Gm Am
I still see her golden hair
Dm-C-A-C-Dm
And the California sunshine
Gm C F Am Dm
Mississippi rain falling on my head
Gm Dm
No California woman sleeping in my bed
C F Am Dm
Makes me wanna move on, leave all this behind
G Dm
I need my California woman and the California sunshine
Riff 1
Dm-C-A-C-Dm
verse:
Dm
Golden California beaches
A
Knocking on a beach house door
G
They say that California woman
Dm
She don't live here anymore
C
They say she left with a stranger
A
Leaving nothing left behind
G
She buried all my dreams here
Dm-C-A-C-Dm
In the California sunshine
Dm A
Mississippi rain falling on my head
G Dm
No California woman sleeping in my bed
C A
Makes me wanna move on, leave all this behind
G Dm
I need my California woman and the California sunshine
