Verse 1
Am
When the lights go down in the California town

F                     Am
People are in for the evening.
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar,

   F                          Am
My heart beats time with my breathing.

F                   Em
Driving over Canan, singing to my soul,

        F                                   Am
There's people out there turning music into gold.

Am
Now, my buddy Jim Bass, he's a-working, pumping gas,

       F                      Am
And he makes two fifty for an hour.
He's got rhythm in his hands as he's tapping on the cans,

F                          Am
Sings rock and roll in the shower.

F                   Em
Driving over Canan, singing to my soul,

        F                                   Am
There's people out there turning music into gold.

Am
Oh, California girls are the greatest in the world,

F                      Am
Each one a song in the making,
Singing right at me, I can hear the melody,

    F                      Am
The story is there for the taking.

F                   Em
Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul,

        F                                   Am
There's people out there turning music into gold.

F                   Em
Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul,

        F                                   Am
There's people out there turning music into gold.
