[verse]
           Dm
N.C.       
California woman
Gm                  Dm
Hanging heavy on my mind
                    Gm
Never found another like her
                            Dm [break]
Guess she was just one of a kind
                              Gm     C
 N.C.                                
She never wrapped no strings around me
                         F Am Dm
She could treat a man so fine
                       Gm   Am
I still see her golden hair
                   Dm       C-A-C-Dm
And the California sunshine
            Gm   C
Mississippi rain
               F Am Dm
falling on my head
              Gm    C
No California woman
               F [break]
sleeping in my bed
                    Gm C
Makes me wanna move on,
               F Am Dm
leave all this behind
                     Gm    Am
I need my California woman
                   Dm (or start riff 1)
and the California sunshine
[verse]
                  Dm
N.C.              
Golden California beaches
Gm                        Dm
Knocking on a beach house door
                         Gm
They say that California woman
                       Dm  [break]
She don't live here anymore
                         Gm     C
 N.C.                           
They say she left with a stranger
                       F Am Dm
Leaving nothing left behind
                         Gm    Am
She buried all my dreams here
                  Dm       C-A-C-Dm
In the California sunshine
            Gm   C
Mississippi rain
              F Am Dm
falling on my head
              Gm    C
No California woman
               F   [break]
sleeping in my bed
                    Gm  C
Makes me wanna move on,
                 F Am Dm
leave all this behind
                     Gm    Am
I need my California woman
                   Dm (or start riff 1)
and the California sunshine
[outro]
(during the riff)
I need my California woman and the California sunshine
