VERSE
           G5         A5    G5
When I was young my mamma told me
          D5              E5
She said child take your time
       C5                G5
Don't fall in love too quickly
   A5                 C5
Before you know your mind
     G5       A5          G5
She held me round the shoulders
      D5               E5
In a voice so soft and kind
          C5                 G5
She said love can make you happy
     A5                G5
And love can rob you blind

CHORUS


 A5    D5        G5    
Here in California
A5            D5           E5
fruit hangs heavy on the vine
               C5                  G5
And there's no gold I thought I'd warn ya
         A5          D5              G5
And the hills turn brown in the summertime

VERSE

     G5      A5        G5
Now I may learn to love you
 D5               E5
But I can't say when
       C5                G5
This morning we were strangers
      A5                C5
And tonight we're only friends
      G5       A5          G5
I'll take my time to know you
      D5              E5
I'll take my time to see
        C5               G5
There's nothing I won't show you
       A5                G5
If you take your time with me

CHORUS

 A5    D5        G5    
Here in California
A5            D5           E5
fruit hangs heavy on the vine
               C5                  G5
And there's no gold I thought I'd warn ya
         A5          D5              G5
And the hills turn brown in the summertime


SOLO

VERSE

      G5      A5         G5
There's an old familiar story
    D5           E5
An old familiar rhyme
     C5                   G5
To everything there is a season
      A5                 C5
To every purpose there's a time
        G5         A5      G5
A time to love and come together
          D5              E5
A time when love longs a name
         C5                   G5
A time for questions we can't answer
          A5                G5
Though we ask them just the same

CHORUS

A5    D5        G5    
Here in California
A5            D5           E5
fruit hangs heavy on the vine
               C5                  G5
And there's no gold I thought I'd warn ya
         A5          D5              G5
And the hills turn brown in the summertime
