Verse 1:

Dm7/C Cmaj7
Along the sand
Dm7/C Em Am
Let's walk the shores together, now
Dm7/C Cmaj7
Yes, hand in hand
Dm7/C Em Am
It's gonna be fair weather now
Em Am
When the stars come out
Dm7 [N.C.] G [bass] C
Stop (stop!) to count them in the sky

Chorus 1:

Fm Gb
Long California nights
E
When I'm walkin' with you
C
Hand in hand by the shore
Fm Gb
Yes, I love California nights
E
At the beach where we'd swim
C
With the tide rollin' in

Verse 2:

And there we'll be
Beneath the midnight sky above
Just you and me
And we will whisper words of love
While the firelight
Soft (soft)-ly flickers in the sand

Chorus 2:

Warm California nights
With the breeze blowin' in
The time for love to begin
I would miss California nights
If I went on my way
Thinkin' now that I'll stay

Bridge:

Dm7/G Cmaj7/G
/ / / / / / / /

Dm7/G Cmaj7/G
Ooh, baby
Dm7/G Cmaj7/G
Love you, baby
Dm7/G
Mmm, baby

Chorus 3:

Long California nights
Always close as a kiss
Nothin' sweeter than this
And we'll spend California nights
Always close as a kiss [fade]
