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