*CAPO 4th FRET*
(Original Key: [C#])
Intro:
[A] [Bm7] [C] [D], [A] (n.[C])
Verse 1:
[A] [Bm7]
Like a sound you hear, that lingers in your ear,
[C] [D] [A] [Bm7] [C] [D]
But you can't forget, from sundown to sun-set, now.
[A] [Bm7]
It's all in the air, you hear it everywhere,
[C] [D] [A] [Bm7] [C]
No matter what you do; it's gonna grab a hold on you.
[D] [Am] [F] [E7]
Cali-fornia soul, California soul.
Bridge 1:
[B7] [D]
They say the sun comes up, every morning now,
[B7] [D]
And if you listen, oh, so careful-ly.
[A] [Amaj7] [D] [B7] [C#7]
The winds that ride, on the high time, whistle in melo-dy.
Chorus 1:
[A] [Amaj7]
And so the people started to sing,
[F#m7] [B7]
And that's how the surf gave birth, un-told,
[Am] [F] [A] [Bm7] [C] [D]
To California soul, California soul.
Verse 2:
[A] [Bm7]
When you hear the beat, you wanna pat your feet,
[C] [D] [A] [Bm7] [C] [D]
And you've got to move, 'cos it's really such a groove.
[A] [Bm7]
Puts a brand new kind of thinkin' in your mind,
[C] [D] [A] [Bm7] [C]
And you can't go wrong, 'cos you're groovin' all day long.
[D] [Am] [F] [E7]
Cali-fornia soul, California soul.
Bridge 2:
[B7] [D]
They had the melody and the beat,
[B7] [D]
But it still didn't seem com-plete.
[A] [Amaj7] [D]
Until they saw two lovers kissin';
[B7] [C#7]
They knew just what was missin'.
Chorus 1:
[A] [Amaj7]
So happy they were, rockin' and reelin',
[F#m7] [B7]
Because they'd added that lovin' feeling.
[Am] [F] [A] [Bm7] [C] [D]
To California soul, California soul.
Coda:
[A] [Bm7] [C] [D]
Like a sound you hear, that lingers in your ear.
Outro:
[A] [Bm7] [C] [D]
(Repeat to Fade)
