[Chorus]
A
I've got friends in California
Who really care about me
                           E               A
And right now a friend is what I need the most
      E        A
Somewhere out in California
E    D       A
Is where I ought to be
So I'll pack up my trouble
     E                A   Am
And take 'em to the coast
[Verse]
A
This old town is gettin' colder
      B7      D     A
With winter comin' on
                         E       A
But it was just as cold back in July
C       E    A
There ain't nothin' here to hold me
             D      E     A
With storm clouds movin' in
      Am                         E     A
Lord knows I need a friend and sunny skies
          D
I've got some cousins up near Frisco
 A
They've been on my mind
                             E          A
And my best friend's got a place in Malibu
             D                         A
I've got an old flame in the desert livin' on the Falkland
                            E              A
I'd be better off with her then here with you
[Chorus/Outro]
A
I've got friends in California
Who really care about me
                       E               A
Right now a friend is what I need the most
Somewhere out in California
     D       A
Is where I ought to be
So I'll pack up my trouble And take 'em to the coast
                            E                   A
So I'll pack up my trouble And take 'em to the coast
