Intro
C /A /A# /B
[Verse 1]
C Dm
No I don't think it's odd to stand before god
G7 F C
And solemnly swear when there's love in the air
C Dm
And I don't think it's weird when the one thing you fear
G7 F C Cm7
Is losing the one thing that's holding you dear
[Chorus]
F G7
Well I don't think it's strange, I don't think it's insane
D
It turns the world around
G7
While the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
C F C
To California, where the warm sun shines
F C
California, hear the windblown chimes
/C# Dm G7 C
Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today
C /A /A# /B
[Verse 2]
C Dm
True love in you heart, like a flame in the dark
G7 F C
May you have, may you hold, 'til death do you part
C Dm
'Cause two of a kind, it ain't easy to find
G7 F C Cm7
Comin' out of the blue, being lead by the blind
[Chorus]
F G7
It don't take much to see that what's meant to be
D
Is right in front of me
G7
And the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
C F C
To California, where the warm sun shines
F C
California, hear the windblown chimes
/C# Dm G7 C
Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today
[Outro]
Em Am
We're sittin' on a real celebration
Em Am
Thank heavens what a fine situation
D7
Shoot the cannon, blow the horn
G7 C
Love is born in California
