INTRO: D Em F#m G Em D VERSE 1
D                       Em
Take a long drive with me

                                 D
On California one, On California one

                         Em
Take a long drive with me

                                 D
On California one, On California one
CHORUS And the road a-winding goes
               Gm                     D
From golden gate to roaring cliff-side

                                        Gm                      D
And the light is softly low as our hearts become sweetly untied

              C G                 D
Beneath the sun of California one
VERSE 2
                        Em
Take a long dram with me

                                      D
Of California wine, of California wine

                        Em
Take a long dram with me

                                      D
Of California wine, of California wine
CHORUS And the wine it tastes so sweet
        Gm                  D
As we lay our eyes to wander
And the sky, it stretches deep
           Gm                    D
Will we rest our heads to slumber

            C
Beneath the vines of California wine?

D           C   G                  D
Beneath the sun of California One
BRIDGE D Asus4 D D+ Em G Em G D+
               D+
Annabelle lies, sleeps with quiet eyes

       G  Em     G    Em
On this sea-drift sun

                D+
What can you do?
And if I said, O it's in your head
       G  Em     G    Em
On this sea-drift sun

                D+
What can you do?
