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