Lyrics w/ Chords :

(Intro w/ Bassline only)

Write a song about California he said.

Write a song about California

he said to me before I left but I,

think I'll write a song about him instead.




(Verse 1)

Now, AM7I'm sitting up on Hollywood Hill Can't think of a single thing to sing E9about this place, maybe I never Eb9will but D9I'm thinkin' bout you AM7still.                          F#9   
AM7Walking down Sunset Boulevard Never thought writing a song E9about some place could be this Eb9hard D9With you I don't know where to AM7start.   F#9          Bm7          E9  
(Chorus)
Here's DM7to the boy who keeps me AM7up all night, who sings DM7exactly right, and never lets me AM7know. Here's DM7to the boy, the one with the C#dimbright eyes, who makes me B9realize, I got a F7long long way to E7go to California.

AM7Now I am standing on this pier with all the sights and sounds of E9Santa Monica still ringing Eb9in my eD9ars. I'm wishing you were AM7here. AM7Write a song about California he AM7said. BbM7     AM7Think of something everybody's E9got to do E9before Eb9they're dead, but D9I wrote this song about you inAM7stead. F#9       Bm7       E9  
(Chorus)
Here's DM7to the boy who keeps me AM7up all night, who sings DM7exactly right, and never lets me AM7know. Here's DM7to the boy, the one with the C#dimbright eyes, who makes me B9realize, I got a F7long long way to E7go to California.
