Intro
Em G C G
[Verse 1]
Em G C G
West bound far as he could make it, on denial
Em G C G
Touched down lookin' for the darkest street on the bay
Em G C G
Hoping to start a revolution, a revival
Em G C G
A few days in and he can already say
[Chorus 1]
Em G C G
San Francisco I've been there before
Em G C G
I kicked down the door at those golden gates
Em G C G
San Francisco I've been there before
Em G C G
So near to the shore but so far away
Em G C G
Here we go San Francisco oh
[Verse 2]
Em G C G
Made do working at a hostel through September
Em G C G
One room, blanket and a bible, all that he had
Em G C G
Some days never saw the sun on, streets so tender
Em G C G
And some nights they felt like fights against going mad
[Chorus 2]
Em G C G
San Francisco I've been there before
Em G C G
I kicked down the door at those golden gates
Em G C G
San Francisco I've been there before
Em G C G
So near to the shore but so far away
Em G C G
Here we go San Francisco oh
Em G C G
Here we go San Francisco oh
Em G C G G
San Francisco oh
[Bridge]
Em G
The sons of thunder in a dome of west end
C G
God willing he found a town where he had a frend
Em G
But he thinks about this city every now and again
C G
Wondering if he changed it, like he changed him
Em G
Wondering whether he whoever had it together inside
C G
If he might regonize that sigh in his own eyes
Em G
That he sees peeking out from those card boadr signs
C G
The streets are all the same
Em G C Em G
And he says the streets are all the same, aeeee
C
Music city by the bay
[Chorus 3]
Em G C G
San Francisco I've been there before
Em G C G
I kicked down the door at those golden gates
Em G C G
San Francisco I've been there before
Em G C G
So near to the shore but so far away
Em G C G
Here we go San Francisco oh
Em G C G
Here we go San Francisco oh
Em G C G
San Francisco oh
Em G C G
San Francisco oh
