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