Introduction:

                    F     A   Dm
There's a place I know,
                    BbF       A
Where the redwoods blow,
                    Dm           F       C               Bb
Where the Colorado River feeds the sea,
                  Dm         C                       F
If you'd care to share it with me.
                    F     A     Dm
There are wide blue skies,
                Bb   F     A
In your cloudless eyes,
            Dm                       F               C               Bb

Will you come to California with me?
              F   A       Dm
Oh the sun grows warm,

In the blue California dawn,
            Dm                       F                     C           Bb
As it rises from the ocean like a burning tree,
                  Dm                 C                   F
Will you come to California with me?
                F     A       Dm
And the moon glows pale,
          Bb     F       A
As a great white whale,
            Dm                         F                     C               Bb
As we sailed to Chattanooga on the Robert E. Lee,
                  G                   Bb                 F
Will you come to California with me?
                  F             A   Dm

              Bb           F         A
Or the Monument Valley Stones?
                      Dm                       F                     C           Bb
Where they buried all the giants after Wounded Knee,
                  G                   Bb                 F
Will you come to California with me?
                F                         A                     Dm
All the Presidents are smiling in a line,
              Bb         F                                 A
In the hills behind the Hollywood sign,
                  Dm                     F               C     Bb
Where it overlooks the Statue of Liberty,
                  G                   Bb                 F
Will you come to California with me?
?
          F                 A     Dm
If I stay here, I'll freeze,
                  Bb                 F           A
Will you come to California, please?
                  Dm                       F         C                 Bb
Will you do me this one favour before you leave...
        G                   Bb
And come to California?

                F         A   Dm
All the dreams you killed,
              Bb     F     A
Do you dream them still? ?
                  Dm                   F           C             Bb
Are they there in California? Wait and see,
        G                   Bb                 F
And come to California with me.
                    Dm                   F                         C       Bb
And we'll cruise along Broadway in a 'Model T',
                  G                   Bb                 F
When you come to California with me.
