[Intro]
D G
D A7 D
[Chorus]
G A7 D I couldn't live in southern California G A7 D I don't know nothing I could do G A7 D Bm I couldn't live in southern California, babe G A7 D Not unless I lived there with you
[Verse 1]
G A7 D We went down to Laguna in the wintertime G A7 D The shops were warm, the brandy tasted good G A7 D You know, you said you never could stand tourists G A7 And you wouldn't be a tourist if you could G A7 D Do you remember that we saw a rainbow G A7 D Breaking over the mountains in the way? G A7 D And even though they said it would be raining G A7 We found ourselves a chilly, sunny day G A7 D The mountains are so high, I feel that I could fly G A7 D Looking down into the valley below G A7 D The clear Kentucky streams, they are always in my dreams G A7 D I think that is something you should know
[Interlude]
G D A7 D
[Verse 2]
G A7 D I don't think that I could drive the freeways G A7 D I get lost and you know how that feels G A7 D Someday, I think I'd like to paint a seascape G A7 If they ever get the ocean to stand still G A7 D The old men with the beer talked to the seagulls G A7 D The young men in their prime were playing ball G A7 D Some coyotes on the prairie chased the rabbits G A7 And we promised that we'd come back in the fall
[Chorus]
G A7 D But I couldn't live in southern California G A7 D I don't know nothing I could do G A7 D Bm I couldn't live in southern California, babe G A7 D G Not unless I lived there with you
D A7 D
