B Well East coast girls are hip A I really dig those styles they wear E And the Southern girls with the way they talk F# They knock me out when I’m down there B A The mid-west farmers daughters really make you feel alright E And the northern girls with the way they kiss F# They keep their boyfriends warm at night Chorus: B C#m I wish they all could be California girls A Bm (I wish they all could be Californian) G Am B I wish they all could be California girls The West Coast has the sunshine And the girls all get so tanned I dig a French bikini on Hawaii island Dolls By a palm tree in the sand I've been all around this great big world And I seen all kind of girls Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states Back to the cutest girls in the world Chorus B I wish they all could be California girls C#m (I wish they all could be Californian) B I wish they all could be California girls C#m (I wish they all could be Californian) You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  B  Bm  C#m  E  F#  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
