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