G D Em C She lived at the end of a little dirt road, G D Em C In a house where secrets go untold. G D Barefoot in a cotton dress, Em C Dark hair in a tangled mess, G D C And a head full of crazy dreams. D She'd say, Chorus: G D C I'm going to California, G D C A place where the sun always shines. G D C Well I'm going to California, Am D G And I'm leaving everything behind. You can't help but feel a little bit touched When your daddy loves you a little too much You can wish on four leaf clovers But all the fields have been plowed over And there's nothing left to do but fly away She said Chorus Am G The stars burn like candles, C On that two lane highway. Am G She made a wish and disappeared, D On her 18th birthday. She'd say, Chorus: I'm going to California A place where the sun always shines I'm going to California And I'm leaving everything behind I'm going to California And I'm leaving everything behind Oh California I'm going to California Oh California Leaving it all behind California | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm C D Em F# G B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
