[Verse 1]
D F#m Em A7
I thought me and my sweet baby really had it going on
D A#dim Em A7
I thought that we were happy and our love was true and strong
Am7 D7 G C9
And the old farmhouse, the picket fence, a horse, a dog, and cat
Bm7 A# A
Family and friendship give a shirt right off their backs
[Verse 2]
D F#m Em A7
So naturally I was surprised when out of the blue
D A#dim Em A7
She said she was going to Hollywood to make her dreams come true
Am7 D7 G C9
Won’t it hurt to be happy and I follow her anywhere
Bm7 A# A D
But I’m just an old country boy, what would I do out there?
[Chorus 1]
Gm D
In California
Gm D
Land of Kardashians, glitz and movie stars
Gm D
California
Gm F D# D Aaug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Solo]
D F#m Em A7
D A#dim Em A7
Am7 D7 G C9
Bm7 Em A D
[Verse 3]
D F#m Em A7
Well I wasn’t going to let her live in Tinseltown alone
D A#dim Em A7
And I figured she’d get her fill quick then want to come back home
Am7 D7 G C9
So I sucked it up and tried not to let on I was lost and bored
Bm7 Em A D
Ironically I could have won that Academy Award
[Chorus 2]
Gm D
In California
Gm D
She loves your sunny weather, fancy shops, and sushi bars
Gm D
California
Gm F D# D Aaug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Verse 4]
D F#m Em A7
Man, I sorely missed our civil life in Tennessee
D A#dim Em A7
Sure L.A. was really nice but I never felt like me
Am7 D7 G C9
Lots of people everywhere but I still felt alone
Bm7 Em A D
So I told her that I wished her well but I was going home
[ Chorus 3]
Gm D
Goodbye to California
Gm D
You’ll need your mansion surfer dudes or Maserati cars
Gm D
California
Gm F D# D
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars

[Spoken]
D F#m Em A
D whole year went by slowly since she’d left me for the coast
D F#m Em
She’d call once in while or send a card with a little note
A D F#m
I thought she was embarrassed, cause she’d probably gone bust
Em A
And was sure she’d come home and we’d get back to being us
D F#m Em A
She’d come to her senses, get her head out of the clouds
D A#dim Em A
And I’d say: “You gave it your best shot, and for that you should be proud!”
Am7 D7 G C9
‘Till one night I got in bed and turned the TV on down low
Bm7 Em A D
And I’ll be danged if it wasn’t her in a brand new reality show, filmed in
[Chorus 4]
Gm D
California
Gm D
I should have believed who she was and she would take
Gm D
California
Gm F D# (Chromatic line: D C# D D# E F F# D)
Take care of my baby keep her wishing on a star
Gm D Gm D
California
Gm D
California
[Outro]
