Intro
Fm G# C# G#
[Verse 1]
Fm G# C# G#
West bound far as he could make it, on denial
Fm G# C# G#
Touched down lookin' for the darkest street on the bay
Fm G# C# G#
Hoping to start a revolution, a revival
Fm G# C# G#
A# few days in and he can already say
[Chorus 1]
Fm G# C# G#
San Francisco I've been there before
Fm G# C# G#
I kicked down the door at those golden gates
Fm G# C# G#
San Francisco I've been there before
Fm G# C# G#
So near to the shore but so far away
Fm G# C# G#
Here we go San Francisco oh
[Verse 2]
Fm G# C# G#
Made do working at a hostel through September
Fm G# C# G#
One room, blanket and a bible, all that he had
Fm G# C# G#
Some days never saw the sun on, streets so tender
Fm G# C# G#
And some nights they felt like fights against going mad
[Chorus 2]
Fm G# C# G#
San Francisco I've been there before
Fm G# C# G#
I kicked down the door at those golden gates
Fm G# C# G#
San Francisco I've been there before
Fm G# C# G#
So near to the shore but so far away
Fm G# C# G#
Here we go San Francisco oh
Fm G# C# G#
Here we go San Francisco oh
Fm G# C# G# G#

[Bridge]
Fm G#
The sons of thunder in a dome of west end
C# G#
God willing he found a town where he had a frend
Fm G#
But he thinks about this city every now and again
C# G#
Wondering if he changed it, like he changed him
Fm G#
Wondering whether he whoever had it together inside
C# G#
If he might regonize that sigh in his own eyes
Fm G#
That he sees peeking out from those card boadr signs
C# G#
The streets are all the same
Fm G# C# Fm G#
And he says the streets are all the same, aeeee
C#
Music city by the bay
[Chorus 3]
Fm G# C# G#
San Francisco I've been there before
Fm G# C# G#
I kicked down the door at those golden gates
Fm G# C# G#
San Francisco I've been there before
Fm G# C# G#
So near to the shore but so far away
Fm G# C# G#
Here we go San Francisco oh
Fm G# C# G#
Here we go San Francisco oh
Fm G# C# G#
San Francisco oh
