    A#            F
I remember long ago
       C                  F
How I wondered where I'd go
            A#                       F
While the blizzards, cold wind and snow
         C             F
Pounded outside my window

Chorus:
     A#        F
California sunset
       C           F
Going down in the West
         A#             F
All the colors in the sky
       C              F
Kiss another day goodbye

Land of beauty, space and light
Land of promise land of might
You're my home now and it's true
California, here's to you

Chorus
