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