Mindy Gledhill
California
Album: Anchor
G                      C
Have you been to California
D                       Em
Seen the sights and people there
G                         C
Walked the streets of sleepy sea towns
D                G
Tasted salty ocean air
G                  C
Once I flew to New York City
D                            Em
Took my picture in Time Square
G                            C
Soho nights and Broadway lights
D                  G
Such a pity you weren't  there
Chorus:
C                                 D
Pack your bags and lock your door
G                                C
I'll take you places you've not been before
C                   D
All I've ever wished to do is
C                                 D            G
Travel through this life with you
G                              C
Make your way to London, England
D                          Em
Paris, France is also nice
G                           C
Ooh la la, when people say hello
D                         G
They kiss your cheeks three times
Chorus
C                    D
Monte Carlo is awaiting
Em             G
Bombay intoxicating
Em                        C
The sky in Bora Bora is
D                            G
The color of your eyes
Chorus
So there it is hope you have fun!
