There is a city by the sea, a gentle com - pa - ny,
Asus2 Em F F G G
I don't suppose you want to
And as it tells its sorry tale, in harrowing detail
Its hollowness will haunt you
Dm Dmadd2 F Fadd2 Am Asus2
Its streets and boulevards, orphans and oligarchs it hears
F Fadd2 Dm Dmadd2
A plaintive melody, truncated symphony

Los Angeles, I'm yours
C C C C Cadd2 C (x4) F F G G
Oh ladies pleasant and demure, sallow-cheeked and sure
I can see your undies
And all the boys you drag about, an empty fallow fount
From Saturdays to Mondays
You hill and valley crowd, hanging your trousers down at heel
This is the realest thing, as ancient choirs sing
A dozen blushing cherubs wheel above
Los Angeles my love
