From sundown to sun-set, now.

Every morning now,

The winds that ride,
D D
On the high time,

Whistle in melo-dy.

And so the people,

Gave birth un-told,
Am Am F F
To California soul,

When you hear the beat,

You wanna pat your feet,

And you've got to move,

'Cos it's really,

Such a groove.

All day long.

And the beat,

But it still didn't,

Seem com-plete.

Until they saw two,
Amaj7 Amaj7 D D
Lovers kissin',
B7 B7
They knew just,
C#7 C#7
What was missin'.



Chorus 1:
(C#7 C#7)
So happy they were,
A A Amaj7 Amaj7
Rockin' and reelin',
F#m7 F#m7
Because they'd added,
B7 B7
That lovin' feeling.
Am Am F F
To California soul,
A A Bm7 Bm7 C C D D
California soul.


Coda:

Like a sound you hear,
Bm7 Bm7 C C D D
That lingers in your ear.
