F#m I remember I was in the tanning salon, Bm When I heard that River Phoenix was gone. E They say that only the good die young, F#m But that ain't true where I come from: BmC#F#m California, California.
Chorus: F#mEBmC# It took a lot for me to say, F#mEBmC# I wanna walk away L.A., F#mEBm From the sharks and the chardonnay, C#F#mEBmC#F#m In California, in California.
F#m Four in the morning, we were in our beds, Bm The swaying palm trees above our heads E Woke up to the primal rumbling sound, F#m When the Northridge quake ripped open the ground, BmC#F#m California, California.
Chorus: F#mEBmC# It took a lot for me to say, F#mEBmC# I wanna walk away L.A., F#mEBm From the sharks and the chardonnay, C#F#mEBmC#F#m In California, in California.
Bridge: F#m Golden State, I'm back in the Golden State, C#m Golden State of mind. F#m Golden State, I'm back in the Golden State, C#m Golden State of mind.
