C# C# D#m7 D#m7 E E F# F#, C# C# (n.E)


Verse 1:
C# C#
Like a sound you hear,
D#m7 D#m7
That lingers in your ear,
E E
But you can't forget,
F# F# C# C# D#m7 D#m7 E E F# F#
From sundown to sun-set, now.
C# C#
It's all in the air,
D#m7 D#m7
You hear it everywhere,
E E
No matter what you do,
F# F# C# C# D#m7 D#m7 E E
It's gonna grab a hold on you.
F# F# C#m C#m A A
Cali-fornia soul,
G#7 G#7
California soul.



Bridge 1:
D#7 D#7
They say the sun comes up,
F# F#
Every morning now,
D#7 D#7
And if you listen,
F# F#
Oh so careful-ly.

C# C# C#maj7 C#maj7
The winds that ride,
F# F#
On the high time,
D#7 D#7 F7 F7
Whistle in melo-dy.



Chorus 1:
(F7 F7)
And so the people,
C# C# C#maj7 C#maj7
Started to sing,
A#m7 A#m7
And that's how the surf,
D#7 D#7
Gave birth un-told,
C#m C#m A A
To California soul,
C# C# D#m7 D#m7 E E F# F#
California soul.



Verse 2:
C# C#
When you hear the beat,
D#m7 D#m7
You wanna pat your feet,
E E
And you've got to move,
F# F#
'Cos it's really,
C# C# D#m7 D#m7 E E F# F#
Such a groove.
C# C#
Puts a brand new kind,
D#m7 D#m7
Of thinkin' in your mind,
E E
And you can't go wrong,
F# F#
'Cos you're groovin',
C# C# D#m7 D#m7 E E
All day long.
F# F# C#m C#m A A
California soul,
G#7 G#7
California soul.


Bridge 2:
D#7 D#7
They had the melody,
F# F#
And the beat,
D#7 D#7
But it still didn't,
F# F#
Seem com-plete.
C# C#
Until they saw two,
C#maj7 C#maj7 F# F#
Lovers kissin',
D#7 D#7
They knew just,
F7 F7
What was missin'.



Chorus 1:
(F7 F7)
So happy they were,
C# C# C#maj7 C#maj7
Rockin' and reelin',
A#m7 A#m7
Because they'd added,
D#7 D#7
That lovin' feeling.
C#m C#m A A
To California soul,
C# C# D#m7 D#m7 E E F# F#
California soul.


Coda:
C# C#
Like a sound you hear,
D#m7 D#m7 E E F# F#
That lingers in your ear.


Outro:
C# C# D#m7 D#m7 E E F# F#
(Repeat to Fade)
