[Verse 1]
G# Cm A#m D#7
I thought me and my sweet baby really had it going on
G# A#dim A#m D#7
I thought that we were happy and our love was true and strong
D#m7 G#7 C# F#9
And the old farmhouse, the picket fence, a horse, a dog, and cat
Fm7 E D#
Family and friendship give a shirt right off their backs
[Verse 2]
G# Cm A#m D#7
So naturally I was surprised when out of the blue
G# A#dim A#m D#7
She said she was going to Hollywood to make her dreams come true
D#m7 G#7 C# F#9
Won’t it hurt to be happy and I follow her anywhere
Fm7 E D# G#
But I’m just an old country boy, what would I do out there?
[Chorus 1]
C#m G#
In California
C#m G#
Land of Kardashians, glitz and movie stars
C#m G#
California
C#m B A G# D#aug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Solo]

Fm7 A#m D# G#
[Verse 3]
G# Cm A#m D#7
Well I wasn’t going to let her live in Tinseltown alone
G# A#dim A#m D#7
And I figured she’d get her fill quick then want to come back home
D#m7 G#7 C# F#9
So I sucked it up and tried not to let on I was lost and bored
Fm7 A#m D# G#
Ironically I could have won that Academy Award
[Chorus 2]
C#m G#
In California
C#m G#
She loves your sunny weather, fancy shops, and sushi bars
C#m G#
California
C#m B A G# D#aug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Verse 4]
G# Cm A#m D#7
Man, I sorely missed our civil life in Tennessee
G# A#dim A#m D#7
Sure L.A. was really nice but I never felt like me
D#m7 G#7 C# F#9
Lots of people everywhere but I still felt alone
Fm7 A#m D# G#
So I told her that I wished her well but I was going home
[ Chorus 3]
C#m G#
Goodbye to California
C#m G#
You’ll need your mansion surfer dudes or Maserati cars
C#m G#
California
C#m B A G#
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars

[Spoken]
G# Cm A#m D#
G# whole year went by slowly since she’d left me for the coast
G# Cm A#m
She’d call once in while or send a card with a little note
D# G# Cm
I thought she was embarrassed, cause she’d probably gone bust
A#m D#
And was sure she’d come home and we’d get back to being us
G# Cm A#m D#
She’d come to her senses, get her head out of the clouds
G# A#dim A#m D#
And I’d say: “You gave it your best shot, and for that you should be proud!”
D#m7 G#7 C# F#9
‘Till one night I got in bed and turned the TV on down low
Fm7 A#m D# G#
And I’ll be danged if it wasn’t her in a brand new reality show, filmed in
[Chorus 4]
C#m G#
California
C#m G#
I should have believed who she was and she would take
C#m G#
California
C#m B A (Chromatic line: G# G G# A A# B C D)
Take care of my baby keep her wishing on a star
C#m G# C#m G#
California
C#m G#
California
