As recorded by Jon Pardi (2025 release) [Intro] Em D Cmaj7 Em D Cmaj7 [Verse 1]
           Em               D
She had to go and chase her dreams

         C
It turns out it wasn't me

         Em             D
She took off to that sunset

      C
Ain't heard a word from her since

                       Em
She's somewhere on the west coast

                      D
"Fleetwood..." in her headphones

                    C
Running 'round them hills in Hollywood

                  Em
Probably got some new friends

                 D
Boxed up all her boots and

        C
I got a feeling she's gone for good
[Chorus]
Em D          C
Ooh, hey, California

                 Em                D                    C
Tell me why your sunshine went and stole mine away from me

Em D          C
Ooh, hey, California

                  Em                D                 C
Let her know it's pouring more than rain here in Tennessee

                              Em  D  Cmaj7
And I'm drowning in her memory

                      Em D Cmaj7
Drowning in her memory
[Verse 2]
               Em                 D
She's on the 101 under clear blue skies

               C
I'm drinkin' 101 under neon lights

          Em             D
I bet her skin is Venice-gold

     C
This Sumner County summer's never felt this cold
[Chorus]
Em D          C
Ooh, hey, California

                 Em                D                    C
Tell me why your sunshine went and stole mine away from me

Em D          C
Ooh, hey, California

                  Em                D                 C
Let her know it's pouring more than rain here in Tennessee

                            Em  D  Cmaj7
And I'm drowning in her memory
[Guitar Solo] Em D Cmaj7 [Bridge]
                       Em
She's somewhere on the west coast

                      D
"Fleetwood..." in her headphones

                    C
Running 'round them hills in Hollywood

                  Em
Probably got some new friends

                 D
Boxed up all her boots and

        C
I got a feeling she's gone for good
[Chorus]
Em D          C
Ooh, hey, California

                 Em                D                    C
Tell me why your sunshine went and stole mine away from me

Em D          C
Ooh, hey, California

                  Em                D                 C
Let her know it's pouring more than rain here in Tennessee

                            Em  D  Cmaj7
And I'm drowning in her memory

                         Em  D  Cmaj7
Just drowning in her memory
