Standard (EADGBE)

No I don't think it's odd to stand before god

And solemly swear when there's love in the air

And I don't think it's weird when the one thing you fear

Is losing the one thing that's holding you dear

Well I don't think it's strange, I don't think it's insane

It turns the world around

And the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin,

And the heart keeps bringin you home

To California, where the warm sun shines

California, hear the wind blown chimes

Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today

True love in you heart, like a flame in the dark

May you have, may you hold, till death do you part

Cause two of a kind, it ain't easy to find

Comin out of the blue, being lead by the blind

It don't take much to see that what's meant to be

Is right in front of me

And the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin,

And the heart keeps bringin you home

To California, where the warm sun shines

California, hear the wind blown chimes

Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today

We're sittin on a real celebration

Thank heavens what a fine situation

Shoot the can and blow the horn

Love is born in California...
