[ Tab from: bttp://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/beacb_boys/california_girls_crd.btml ] 
Well, [B]East Coast girls are hip, I really [B9]dig those styles they wear
And the S[E]outhern girls with the way they talk
They knock me [F#]out when I'm down there
The m[B]idwest farmers' daughters really m[B9]ake you feel alright
And the N[E]orthern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their [F#]boyfriends warm at night
Chorus:
I [B]wish they all could[C#m7] be California,
I [A]wish they all could [Bm7]be California,
I [G]wish they all could [Am7]be California [B]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
[repeat cborus]
