[Verse 1]
B D#m C#m F#7
I thought me and my sweet baby really had it going on
B A#dim C#m F#7
I thought that we were happy and our love was true and strong
F#m7 B7 E A9
And the old farmhouse, the picket fence, a horse, a dog, and cat
G#m7 G F#
Family and friendship give a shirt right off their backs
[Verse 2]
B D#m C#m F#7
So naturally I was surprised when out of the blue
B A#dim C#m F#7
She said she was going to Hollywood to make her dreams come true
F#m7 B7 E A9
Won’t it hurt to be happy and I follow her anywhere
G#m7 G F# B
But I’m just an old country boy, what would I do out there?
[Chorus 1]
Em B
In California
Em B
Land of Kardashians, glitz and movie stars
Em B
California
Em D C B F#aug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Solo]

G#m7 C#m F# B
[Verse 3]
B D#m C#m F#7
Well I wasn’t going to let her live in Tinseltown alone
B A#dim C#m F#7
And I figured she’d get her fill quick then want to come back home
F#m7 B7 E A9
So I sucked it up and tried not to let on I was lost and bored
G#m7 C#m F# B
Ironically I could have won that Academy Award
[Chorus 2]
Em B
In California
Em B
She loves your sunny weather, fancy shops, and sushi bars
Em B
California
Em D C B F#aug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Verse 4]
B D#m C#m F#7
Man, I sorely missed our civil life in Tennessee
B A#dim C#m F#7
Sure L.A. was really nice but I never felt like me
F#m7 B7 E A9
Lots of people everywhere but I still felt alone
G#m7 C#m F# B
So I told her that I wished her well but I was going home
[ Chorus 3]
Em B
Goodbye to California
Em B
You’ll need your mansion surfer dudes or Maserati cars
Em B
California
Em D C B
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars

[Spoken]
B D#m C#m F#
B whole year went by slowly since she’d left me for the coast
B D#m C#m
She’d call once in while or send a card with a little note
F# B D#m
I thought she was embarrassed, cause she’d probably gone bust
C#m F#
And was sure she’d come home and we’d get back to being us
B D#m C#m F#
She’d come to her senses, get her head out of the clouds
B A#dim C#m F#
And I’d say: “You gave it your best shot, and for that you should be proud!”
F#m7 B7 E A9
‘Till one night I got in bed and turned the TV on down low
G#m7 C#m F# B
And I’ll be danged if it wasn’t her in a brand new reality show, filmed in
[Chorus 4]
Em B
California
Em B
I should have believed who she was and she would take
Em B
California
Em D C (Chromatic line: B A# B C C# D D# D)
Take care of my baby keep her wishing on a star
Em B Em B
California
Em B
California
