[Verse]
Bm   A
You  poor you
Bm                        A
Playing so long but you're still not grooving
Bm           A                    Bm
  I see you running but I see you ain't moving
A        Bm       A
  And me  pitiful me
Bm                          A                     Bm
I sleep with both eyes open but I'm just not seeing
    A          Bm          A
The forest let alone the trees


[Chorus]
G          A      D
California here I come
     G          Em
Open up your golden arms
Bm
I had enough of the New York City slums
G     A       D           G     
My brother he went before me
         Em
My God watch over me
F#                Bm    A Bm A
California here I come

[Verse]
       Bm   A
Can we stop obsessing
        Bm                      A
There's food on the table let's count our blessings
Bm A                      Bm
     How come we wanna be messing
A         Bm   A              Bm   A
Messing around  with the wild wild west
Bm           A                Bm  A
   Must be a better life than this
    Bm  A         Bm A         Bm          
How come some people  got it all
A              Bm  A
  Some people got none
Bm                A
I been banging my head against
    Bm             A
The writing on the wall
    Bm  A              Bm      A
But now   I just wanna have fun


[Chorus]
G          A      D
California here I come
     G          Em
Open up your golden arms
Bm
I had enough of the New York City slums
G     A       D           G     
My brother he went before me

My God watch over me
G          A       D
California I'll be there
       G              Em
Let me fall into your hair
Bm
I won't be guilty for my New York City care
G     A       D           G          
My sister come along with me
           Em
Our God is offering our share
F#
California I'll be there
