[Verse 1]
When I was [G]young [Am]my mama [G]told me
She said [D]child take your [Em]time
Don't [C]fall in love too [G]quickly
[Am]Before you know your [C]mind
She [G]held me [Am]'round [G]the shoulders
In [D]a voice so [Em]soft and kind
She said [C]love can make you [G]happy
[Am]Love can rob you blind

[Am]Here [D]in Cal[G]ifornia,
[C]fru[Am]it hangs hea[D]vy on the vin[Em]es
And there's no [C]gold,
I thought I'd [G]warn you
And [Am]the hills turn [D]brown in the summer

It's an [G]old famil[Am]iar s[G]tory
An [D]old familiar [Em]rhyme
To [C]everything, there is a sea[G]son
To every pur[Am]pose, there's a [C]time
A time [G]to love and [Am]come togeth[G]er

And [Am]the hills turn [D]brown in
the summertime

There's no [C]gold,
