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