INTRO (strike once): D

VERSE 1:
            D
Working all day
                  G
And the sun don't shine
              A
Trying to get by
                     D
And I'm just killin' time
           D
I feel the rain
                     G
Fall the whole night through
              Em    A
Far away from you
           D
California Blue

CHORUS:
           G
California Blue
              D
Dreaming all alone
                A7
Nothing else to do
           D
California Blue
           G
Everyday I pray
              D
I'll be on my way
                A7
Saving love for you
           D
California Blue

BRIDGE:
A7
One Sunny Day
         D
I'll get back again
G            A
Somehow, someway
      D
But I don't know when
           A
California Blue
           D
California Blue

VERSE 2:
          D
Living my life
               G
With you on my mind
            A
Thinking of things
                  D
That I left far behind
             D
It's been so long
                G
Doing all I can do
               Em    A
To get back to you
           D
California Blue

Still missing you
