  G      C       Em
Take me back to California
C             G         G
West Coast, I'm comin' home
  G      C       Em
Take me back to California
C            G          G
Right where I started from

 G    C
Cali-fornia
  Am                           Em
That's where I lived my whole life
 G    C
Cali-fornia
 Am                   Em
Bury me there when I die

Chorus:
 G               C
Take me back to California
Am               Em
That's where my body will lie
 G               C
Take me back to California
Am                 Em
That's where I'll go when I die

I've been sticking it out
For one thousand miles on the 101 South
The distance feels like it kills
From San Francisco to the Hollywood Hills

California
That's where I lived my whole life
California
Bury me there when I die

Chorus

I'm coming home to Cali
From the redwood trees all the way to the Valley
The distance feels like it kills
From San Francisco to the Hollywood Hills

California
That's where I lived my whole life
California
Bury me there when I die

Chorus

 G    C
Cali-fornia
 Am
Bury me there when I die
