A# /G /Ab /A
[Verse 1]
A# Cm
No I don't think it's odd to stand before god
F7 Eb A#
And solemnly swear when there's love in the air
A# Cm
And I don't think it's weird when the one thing you fear
F7 Eb A# A#m7
Is losing the one thing that's holding you dear
[Chorus]
Eb F7
Well I don't think it's strange, I don't think it's insane
C
It turns the world around
F7
While the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
A# Eb A#
To California, where the warm sun shines
Eb A#
California, hear the windblown chimes
/B Cm F7 A#
Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today
A# /G /Ab /A
[Verse 2]
A# Cm
True love in you heart, like a flame in the dark
F7 Eb A#
May you have, may you hold, 'til death do you part
A# Cm
'Cause two of a kind, it ain't easy to find
F7 Eb A# A#m7
Comin' out of the blue, being lead by the blind
[Chorus]
Eb F7
It don't take much to see that what's meant to be
C
Is right in front of me
F7
And the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
A# Eb A#
To California, where the warm sun shines
Eb A#
California, hear the windblown chimes
/B Cm F7 A#
Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today
[Outro]

We're sittin' on a real celebration
Dm Gm
Thank heavens what a fine situation

Shoot the cannon, blow the horn
F7 A#
Love is born in California
