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
