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