Intro
G /E /F /F#
[Verse 1]
G Am
No I don't think it's odd to stand before god
D7 C G
And solemnly swear when there's love in the air
G Am
And I don't think it's weird when the one thing you fear
D7 C G Gm7
Is losing the one thing that's holding you dear
[Chorus]
C D7
Well I don't think it's strange, I don't think it's insane
A
It turns the world around
D7
While the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
G C G
To California, where the warm sun shines
C G
California, hear the windblown chimes
/G# Am D7 G
Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today
G /E /F /F#
[Verse 2]
G Am
True love in you heart, like a flame in the dark
D7 C G
May you have, may you hold, 'til death do you part
G Am
'Cause two of a kind, it ain't easy to find
D7 C G Gm7
Comin' out of the blue, being lead by the blind
[Chorus]
C D7
It don't take much to see that what's meant to be
A
Is right in front of me
D7
And the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
G C G
To California, where the warm sun shines
C G
California, hear the windblown chimes
/G# Am D7 G
Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today
[Outro]
Bm Em
We're sittin' on a real celebration
Bm Em
Thank heavens what a fine situation
A7
Shoot the cannon, blow the horn
D7 G
Love is born in California
