        Horns [arr. for guitar]:

        measures 1,2:   tacit
        measure 3:      B (octaves)             x2x4xx
        measure 4:      E/B                     x2210x
        measure 5:      Em/A                    x0200x

Verse 1:
              B                                  B9
        Well, East Coast girls are hip, I really dig those styles they wear
                 E
        And the Southern girls with the way they talk
                      F#
        They knock me out when I'm down there
             B                                 B9
        The midwest farmers' daughters really make you feel alright
                 E
        And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
                        F#
        They keep their boyfriends warm at night

Chorus:
          B                  C#m7
        I wish they all could be California,
          A                   Bm7
        I wish they all could be California,
          G                   Am7           B
        I wish they all could be California Girls

Verse 2:
        The West coast has the sunshine, and the girls all get so tanned
        I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian Island dolls
        By a palm tree in the sand
        I been all around this great big world and I've seen
              all kinds of girls
        But I couldn't wait to get back in the states,
        Back to the cutest girls in the world
