[Verse 1]
E F#m
No I don't think it's odd to stand before god
B7 A E
And solemnly swear when there's love in the air
E F#m
And I don't think it's weird when the one thing you fear
B7 A E Em7
Is losing the one thing that's holding you dear
[Chorus]
A B7
Well I don't think it's strange, I don't think it's insane
F#
It turns the world around
B7
While the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
E A E
To California, where the warm sun shines
A E
California, hear the windblown chimes
/F F#m B7 E
Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today
E /C# /D /D#
[Verse 2]
E F#m
True love in you heart, like a flame in the dark
B7 A E
May you have, may you hold, 'til death do you part
E F#m
'Cause two of a kind, it ain't easy to find
B7 A E Em7
Comin' out of the blue, being lead by the blind
[Chorus]
A B7
It don't take much to see that what's meant to be
F#
Is right in front of me
B7
And the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
E A E
To California, where the warm sun shines
A E
California, hear the windblown chimes

Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today

Thank heavens what a fine situation

Love is born in California
