Bm A Bm We all still live for Friday night Bm A Bm Old habits die hard when you get them right Bm A Bm There's a broken dream in every grain of sand G A But it's as close as I can get to the promised land
[Extended Chorus]
Bm A D Oh California Bm A Yeah, I can see you now from the top of that hill Bm A D Oh California Bm A Though many have gone I got the memories still Bm A D Oh California Bm A Well, I can hear the sound of the mission bell Bm A D Oh California Bm A We're one stone's throw from heaven
