 ---------------------................

*CAPO 4th FRET*

(Original Key: C#)

Intro:

A Bm7 C D, A (n.C)

Verse 1:

Like a [Eb]sound you hear,

That lingers [Fm7]in your ear,

But you [F#]can't forget,

From [Ab]sundown to [Eb]sun-[Fm7]set, now.[F#] [Ab]

It's all [Eb]in the air,

You hear it [Fm7]everywhere,

No matter [F#]what you do,

It's [Ab]gonna grab a [Eb]hold on [Fm7]you.[F#]

Cali-[Ab]fornia [Ebm]soul,[B]

California [Bb7]soul.

Bridge 1:

They say the [F7]sun comes up,

Every [Ab]morning now,

And if you [F7]listen,

Oh so careful-[Ab]ly.

The [Eb]winds that [Ebmaj7]ride,

On the [Ab]high time,

[F7] Whistle in melo-[G7]dy.

Chorus 1:

[(G7)] And so the people,

[Eb] Started to [Ebmaj7]sing,

And that's how the [Cm7]surf,

Gave birth un-[F7]told,

To California [Ebm]soul,[B]

California [Eb]soul.[Fm7] [F#] [Ab]

Verse 2:

When you [Eb]hear the beat,

You wanna [Fm7]pat your feet,

And you've [F#]got to move,

'Cos it's [Ab]really,

[Eb] Such a groove.[Fm7] [F#] [Ab]

Puts a [Eb]brand new kind,

Of thinkin' [Fm7]in your mind,

And you [F#]can't go wrong,

Cause you're [Ab]groovin',

[Eb] All day [Fm7]long.[F#]

Cali[Ab]fornia [Ebm]soul,[B]

California [Bb7]soul.

Bridge 2:

They had the [F7]melody,

And the [Ab]beat,

But it [F7]still didn't,

Seem com-[Ab]plete.

Until they saw [Eb]two,

[Ebmaj7] Lovers [Ab]kissin',

They [F7]knew just,

What was [G7]missin'.

Chorus 1:

[(G7)] So happy they were,

[Eb] Rockin' and [Ebmaj7]reelin',

Because they'd [Cm7]added,

That lovin' [F7]feeling.

To California [Ebm]soul,[B]

California [Eb]soul.[Fm7] [F#] [Ab]

Coda:

Like a [Eb]sound you hear,

That lingers [Fm7]in your ear.[F#] [Ab]

Outro:

[Eb] [Fm7] [F#] [Ab]
