California On My Mind
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

Repeat #1


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

Repeat #1
