[Verse 1]
A C#m Bm E7
I thought me and my sweet baby really had it going on
A A#dim Bm E7
I thought that we were happy and our love was true and strong
Em7 A7 D G9
And the old farmhouse, the picket fence, a horse, a dog, and cat
F#m7 F E
Family and friendship give a shirt right off their backs
[Verse 2]
A C#m Bm E7
So naturally I was surprised when out of the blue
A A#dim Bm E7
She said she was going to Hollywood to make her dreams come true
Em7 A7 D G9
Won’t it hurt to be happy and I follow her anywhere
F#m7 F E A
But I’m just an old country boy, what would I do out there?
[Chorus 1]
Dm A
In California
Dm A
Land of Kardashians, glitz and movie stars
Dm A
California
Dm C A# A Eaug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Solo]
A C#m Bm E7
A A#dim Bm E7
Em7 A7 D G9
F#m7 Bm E A
[Verse 3]
A C#m Bm E7
Well I wasn’t going to let her live in Tinseltown alone
A A#dim Bm E7
And I figured she’d get her fill quick then want to come back home
Em7 A7 D G9
So I sucked it up and tried not to let on I was lost and bored
F#m7 Bm E A
Ironically I could have won that Academy Award
[Chorus 2]
Dm A
In California
Dm A
She loves your sunny weather, fancy shops, and sushi bars
Dm A
California
Dm C A# A Eaug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Verse 4]
A C#m Bm E7
Man, I sorely missed our civil life in Tennessee
A A#dim Bm E7
Sure L.A. was really nice but I never felt like me
Em7 A7 D G9
Lots of people everywhere but I still felt alone
F#m7 Bm E A
So I told her that I wished her well but I was going home
[ Chorus 3]
Dm A
Goodbye to California
Dm A
You’ll need your mansion surfer dudes or Maserati cars
Dm A
California
Dm C A# A
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars

Dm A Dm C A# A
[Spoken]
A C#m Bm E
A whole year went by slowly since she’d left me for the coast
A C#m Bm
She’d call once in while or send a card with a little note
E A C#m
I thought she was embarrassed, cause she’d probably gone bust
Bm E
And was sure she’d come home and we’d get back to being us
A C#m Bm E
She’d come to her senses, get her head out of the clouds
A A#dim Bm E
And I’d say: “You gave it your best shot, and for that you should be proud!”
Em7 A7 D G9
‘Till one night I got in bed and turned the TV on down low
F#m7 Bm E A
And I’ll be danged if it wasn’t her in a brand new reality show, filmed in
[Chorus 4]
Dm A
California
Dm A
I should have believed who she was and she would take
Dm A
California
Dm C A# (Chromatic line: A G# A A# B C C# D)
Take care of my baby keep her wishing on a star
Dm A Dm A
California
Dm A
California
[Outro]
