E A#dim E7sus4/F# E7(add13)
[Verse 1]
E G#m F#m B7
I thought me and my sweet baby really had it going on
E A#dim F#m B7
I thought that we were happy and our love was true and strong
Bm7 E7 A D9
And the old farmhouse, the picket fence, a horse, a dog, and cat
C#m7 C B
Family and friendship give a shirt right off their backs
[Verse 2]
E G#m F#m B7
So naturally I was surprised when out of the blue
E A#dim F#m B7
She said she was going to Hollywood to make her dreams come true
Bm7 E7 A D9
Won’t it hurt to be happy and I follow her anywhere
C#m7 C B E
But I’m just an old country boy, what would I do out there?
[Chorus 1]
Am E
In California
Am E
Land of Kardashians, glitz and movie stars
Am E
California
Am G F E Baug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Solo]

C#m7 F#m B E
[Verse 3]
E G#m F#m B7
Well I wasn’t going to let her live in Tinseltown alone
E A#dim F#m B7
And I figured she’d get her fill quick then want to come back home
Bm7 E7 A D9
So I sucked it up and tried not to let on I was lost and bored
C#m7 F#m B E
Ironically I could have won that Academy Award
[Chorus 2]
Am E
In California
Am E
She loves your sunny weather, fancy shops, and sushi bars
Am E
California
Am G F E Baug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Verse 4]
E G#m F#m B7
Man, I sorely missed our civil life in Tennessee
E A#dim F#m B7
Sure L.A. was really nice but I never felt like me
Bm7 E7 A D9
Lots of people everywhere but I still felt alone
C#m7 F#m B E
So I told her that I wished her well but I was going home
[ Chorus 3]
Am E
Goodbye to California
Am E
You’ll need your mansion surfer dudes or Maserati cars
Am E
California
Am G F E
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars

[Spoken]
E G#m F#m B
E whole year went by slowly since she’d left me for the coast
E G#m F#m
She’d call once in while or send a card with a little note
B E G#m
I thought she was embarrassed, cause she’d probably gone bust
F#m B
And was sure she’d come home and we’d get back to being us
E G#m F#m B
She’d come to her senses, get her head out of the clouds
E A#dim F#m B
And I’d say: “You gave it your best shot, and for that you should be proud!”
Bm7 E7 A D9
‘Till one night I got in bed and turned the TV on down low
C#m7 F#m B E
And I’ll be danged if it wasn’t her in a brand new reality show, filmed in
[Chorus 4]
Am E
California
Am E
I should have believed who she was and she would take
Am E
California
Am G F (Chromatic line: E D# E F F# G G# D)
Take care of my baby keep her wishing on a star
Am E Am E
California
Am E
California
