California Calling

D


[Verse]

                    G
If everybody in the U.S.A
                          A7
Could come with us to Californ-i-a
                       C
We could take 'em to a place out west
          D                    G
Where the good sun shines everyday

                           G
Now there's a touch o' Californ-i-a
                       A7
In everyone who's ever been this way
                        C
And when your telephone begins to ring
        D                     G
And the operator comes on the line

[Chorus]
G          C
California callin'
                       G     Em
I'll be there right away
             A7
There's some beautiful women

Gonna find me one
           Am7                      D     Am7 D
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave

                            G
Now I've joined the surfin' nation and so
                      A7
I'll take a permanent vacation and go
                         C
To the golden shores of 'Frisco Bay
              D                  G
I'll ride 'em all the way to Malibu

                                  G
And I'll take ya' boogie boardin' with me
                                  A7
'Cause when we're surfin' it's so great to be free
                         C
And when you're on a California beach
               D                    G
You might even find 'em windsurfin' too

[Chorus]
G          C
California callin'
                    G       Em
I'll be there right away
             A7
There's some beautiful women

Gonna find me one
           Am7                      D      Am7 D
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave

                       G
In the fifties it was "Hey Daddy O"
                              A7
Then came the surfers and the Hodads ya' know
                           C
We had our woodies and our custom cars
            D                            G
And when we drove around we knew we were bad

                      G
My baby listens to my car radio
                                 A7
And when we're cruisin' lets the whole world know
                              C
And when our favorite surfin' song comes on
          D                          G
We always let 'em know it's "Totally Rad!"

[Chorus]
G          C
California callin'
                    G       Em
I'll be there right away
             A7
There's some beautiful women

Gonna find me one
           Am7                      D       Am7 D
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave

G          C
California callin'
                   G     Em
She's still on the line
          A7
There's a beautiful woman

Gonna show me how
       Am7                  D      Am7 D
To ride 'em at the county line

G          C
California callin'
                    G      Em
I'll be there right away
             A7
There's some beautiful women

Gonna find me one
           Am7                      D      Am7 D
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave
