R                      G#
I was converted to the other side
          A                   C B E
from the day I´d gotten there
                         G#
I met a girl who took me on a ride
       A                       C B
I was young and I had no cares

                   F#    B
When I move to California
     F#   B
California

She played me records I had never heard
While we toked on purple hairs
Who, Zeppelin, Beatles
Kiss, The Rolling Stones
While we played guitars in air

Chorus:

                    F#    B
When I moved to California,
    F#    B
California,
    F#    B7
California,
 G          A  E
California love.

 G
Venice Beach and P.O.P.
  A                 E
station 26 was free.

 G
Jeff Ho and Horizons west,
  A                              E
Dogtown skates they were the best.

 G
Hang Ten, O.P., were the brands
 A
don´t forget the two tone vans.

I miss the Apple and my schoolyard boys
Nothing ever will compare
But now I skateboard
With my surfer girl
And we really are a pair
