F /D /Eb /E
[Verse 1]
F Gm
No I don't think it's odd to stand before god
C7 Bb F
And solemnly swear when there's love in the air
F Gm
And I don't think it's weird when the one thing you fear
C7 Bb F Fm7
Is losing the one thing that's holding you dear
[Chorus]
Bb C7
Well I don't think it's strange, I don't think it's insane
G
It turns the world around
C7
While the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
F Bb F
To California, where the warm sun shines
Bb F
California, hear the windblown chimes
/F# Gm C7 F
Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today
F /D /Eb /E
[Verse 2]
F Gm
True love in you heart, like a flame in the dark
C7 Bb F
May you have, may you hold, 'til death do you part
F Gm
'Cause two of a kind, it ain't easy to find
C7 Bb F Fm7
Comin' out of the blue, being lead by the blind
[Chorus]
Bb C7
It don't take much to see that what's meant to be
G
Is right in front of me
C7
And the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
F Bb F
To California, where the warm sun shines
Bb F
California, hear the windblown chimes
/F# Gm C7 F
Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today
[Outro]
Am Dm
We're sittin' on a real celebration
Am Dm
Thank heavens what a fine situation
G7
Shoot the cannon, blow the horn
C7 F
Love is born in California
