It Never Rains In California
1972 by Albert Hammond & M.Hazlewood


       Bm                E           A
Got on border west bound seven-forty-seven,
       Bm             E             A
Didn't think before decided what to do.
         Bm          E
Oh, they talk of opertunity,
A             F#m          Bm       E        A
TV-breaks and movies, rank through, sure and true.

         Bm             E        A
Seems it never rains in Southern California,
           Bm               E            A
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before.
         Bm           E            A               F#m
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn you
     Bm   E      A
it warms, man it warms

       E                   E
Out of work, I'm out of my head,
            A
Out of self respect, I'm out of breath.
           Bm              E                A
I'm on the run down on the fair, I wanna go home.

         Bm           E            A               F#m
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn you
     Bm   E      A
it warms, man it warms

         Bm                  E              A
Will you tell the folks back home, I nearly made it,
       Bm               E                 A
Eight offers, but don't know which one to take.
             Bm                    E
Please don't tell'em how you found me,
A                     F#m
Don't tell'em how you found me.
        Bm     E         A
Gimme a breath, gimme a breath.

         Bm             E        A
Seems it never rains in Southern California,
           Bm               E            A
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before.
         Bm           E            A               F#m
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn you
      Bm  E      A
it warms, man it warms
