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