Chords

G
You always said someday you'd go to live

   C            G
In Southern California

    D7                             G
And me I'd stay right here in Tennessee

You always talked about the better days

   C            G
In Southern California

    D7
But if you'll stay in Tennessee

                                       G
I promise there'll be better days with me

It's not that I don't love you But I hear the call

     C            G
From Southern California

        D7                             G
There's something I can't find in Tennessee

Silver screens and limousines

                    C            G
They wait for me in Southern California

       D7
Though you've been so good to me

                                        G
The time has come you'll have to set me free

Tomorrow when you leave you'll take my heart

   C            G
To Southern California

    D7
But just remember I'll be here

                                     G
To keep your heart with me until you see

(spoken) N.C. Well it's been five years and I guess I've cried a million tears Looking out the window of this little room N.C. Right over that flashing neon sign that says bar It's almost midnight and time to go downstairs and go to work I wonder how he's doing in Tennessee N.C. Well here I sit by the window of this big old lonely mansion Looking out over the Smokies and owning everything I can see Oh I guess by now she's found what she was looking for N.C. And as I look at this old faded photograph Of the girl that I still love I wonder if she ever thinks of me But the weather's good

   C            G
In Southern California
