INTRO:  Am  F 2x

         Am
When the lights go down in the California town
F                     Am
People are in for the evening
  Am
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
   F                           Am
My heart beatin' time with the breathing

F                  Em  
Driving over Canan singing to my soul
F                                           Am    F         
There's people out there turnin' music into gold

        Am           
Well,My buddy Jim Bass he's a working pumping gas
       F                      Am
And he makes two fifty for an hour
         Am     
He's got rhythm in his hands as he's tappin' on the cans
F                          Am 
Sings rock and roll in the shower

F                  Em  
Driving over Canan singing to my soul
F                                           Am    F         
There's people out there turnin' music into gold

   Am                        
Ah California girls are the greatest in the world
F                      Am     
Each one a song in the making
Am  
Singin' rhymes with me, I can hear the melody
F                      Am     F
Story is there for the taking  ooohh
