      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)
