California On My Mind(Cavaco chords)

	        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 
I got California on my mind
