Southern California Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G][G.J.]
You always said someday
you'd go to live
(In[C]Southern [G]California)
And [D]me I'd stay right here in Ten[G]nessee

[Verse 2]
You [G]always talked about the better days
[C](In[G]Southern California)
But [D]if you'll stay in Tennessee
I promise there'll be
better days with [G]me[D]
[Em][T. W.] It's

[Verse 3]
[D]
not that I don't love you
But I hear the call
[G](From[D]Southern California)
[A]There's something I can't
find in Tenness[D]ee[A]

[Verse 4]
Sil[D]ver screens and limousines
They wait for me [G]in Southern
[D]California

[Verse 5]
[A]Though you've been so good to me
The time has come you'll have
to set [D]me free

[Verse 6]
[G][G.J.]
Tomorrow when you leave
You'll take my heart
[C](To Southern [G]California)
But [D]just remember I'll be here
To keep your heart with me until [G]you see
[Eb][Bbm][Eb]

[Verse 7]
[Ab]
[T.W. speaks:]
Well, it's been five [Ab]years
N' I guess I've cried
[Db]a million [Ab]tears
Lookin' out the window
of this little room
Right over that flashin' neon sign [Eb]that says,
"Bar"
It's almost midnight,
An time to go downstairs
[Ab]and go to work
I wonder how [E]he's doin'
in, Tenness[F#m]ee?[E]

[Verse 8]
[A][G.J. spoken:]
Well, here I sit by the window
Of this big old lonely man[D]sion
Lookin' [A]out over the Smokies
And on in everything I can see

[Verse 9]
Oh, I guess by now [E]she's found
What she was lookin' for
And as I look at this old
faded photograph
Of the [A]girl that I still love
I wonder if she ever, thinks of me

[Verse 10]
[Both] But the [A]weather's
good
In [D]Southern Cali[A]fornia.
