Verse 1

Am C G
Well, he was from a small town
D
In Northern Mississippi
Am C G
She was raised on the Puget Sound
D
A third generation hippie
Am C G
Fate would take them to L.A. County
D F
And get 'em stuck in a traffic jam
D7
An El Camino and a red Trans Am

Am C G D

Verse 2

Am C G
Her stereo was blaring Dylan
D
The Bootleg Sessions
Am C G
And, oh, The Times They Are A'Changin'
D
Made a pretty good impression
Am C G
She looked over and caught him smilin'
D F
Under a California setting sun
D7
They fell in love on the 101


Chorus:

Am G D F
California, California
Am G D
California dreams come true


Verse 3

Am C G
Well, they got in with the In-crowd
D Am
And got off on the rock 'n' roll
C G
Cocaine's free and the music's loud
D Am
Backstage at the Hollywood Bowl
C G
They got the house in Topanga Canyon
D F
They partied at the Viper Room
D7
Blendin' into the neon gloom


Chorus (2X)


Bridge:

F
Well, you see them down on the Sunset Strip
G
Trying so hard to be so hip
F
Manhattan Beach to Malibu
G
It's all about the ocean view
F
And who you know in Hollywood
G
It's cut-throat but it's understood
F
Champagne, Kool-Aid, drink it down
D7
You're the toast of Tinsel Town�


Chorus (2X)


(guitar solo through repeats of the Am C G D cadence)
