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
