G Am  G Am
GWell I use to sing in Texas and it G7sounded fine to Cme
DI guess I've come a long long Gway
But I've Gchanged the words so many times I G7lost the mCelody
And I Dnever even saw it slip aGway
GOut to Amsea tDhere is a refuGge
Where the Amholy Dwinds are Gstrong
Out to Amsea Dthere is a Ghigh plaEmce          tAakes so ClonDg
So I thGought of California G7by the shinning Csea
DThough I'd write the song of Gsongs
I could Ghear my baby's goodbye voice G7ringing out to Cme
Dear DDavid I hope you live that Glong
GOut to Amsea tDhere is a refuGge
Where the Amholy Dwinds are Gstrong
Out to Amsea Dthere is a Ghigh plaEmce
ASailor lead me to your Csong
And we will Dbathe in the wGhite foaming wDater
And be pure as GGod's driven Asnow
On that Dcloudless dGay there'll be no Dsorrow
So the story goes the story GgoesAm  G  Am  
Well I might Gnever sing a song that's G7good enough for mCe
DChase the doubts and fears aGway
G                                 G7
COn a sinking ship of hope I could hear the sailors calling
DCall the captain sail Gaway
GOut to sea AmtheDre is a refugeG  
Where the Amholy Dwinds are sGtrong
Out to Amsea Dthere is a Ghigh placEme      lAead me to your Dsong
And we will Dbathe in the wGhite foaming wDater
And be pure as GGod's given Asnow
On that Dcloudless dGay there'll be no Dsorrow
So the story goes the story GgoesAm  G  Am  G
