[Verse 1]
 
  D                           D/B
I thought I'd never reach the water
         D/E                      D
I had to cross the desert and the great divide
D                    D/B
Drinking only golden promises
    D/E               D
And white lines in my eyes
 
[Verse 2]
 
    D                D/B
And all the sons and daughters
         D/E              D
Followed all the signs to paradise
  D                       D/B
Believing only dreams and promises
     D/E                D
With starlight in their eyes
 
[Chorus]
 
Bm      A  D
Oh California
               Bm                    A
Yeah, it's the one big love that you cannot end
Bm     A   D
Oh California
           Bm                         A
Well, it's not like before but we can still pretend
 
[Verse 3]
 
      D                    D/B
I was swimming in freezing water
        D/E                     D
I could hear the music from the other side
  D                      D/B
I looked up and I saw my father
D/E               D
Tears were in his eyes
 
[Chorus]
 
Bm      A  D
Oh California
               Bm                    A
Yeah, it's the one big love that you cannot end
Bm     A   D
Oh California
           Bm                         A
Well, it's not like before but we can still pretend
 
 
[Bridge]
 
   Bm                 A      Bm
We all still live for Friday night
    Bm                       A        Bm
Old habits die hard when you get them right
          Bm                    A        Bm
There's a broken dream in every grain of sand
            G                         A
But it's as close as I can get to the promised land
 
[Extended Chorus]
 
Bm      A  D
Oh California
            Bm                   A
Yeah, I can see you now from the top of that hill
Bm      A  D
Oh California
       Bm                       A
Though many have gone I got the memories still
Bm      A  D
Oh California
            Bm                    A
Well, I can hear the sound of the mission bell
Bm      A  D
Oh California
      Bm                     A
We're one stone's throw from heaven

I thought I'd never reach the water
