*Note* A5 can be used in place of A5 - both sound good there 
 

Capo 1 
 
 
  G5                    A5 
I hear you're going to California 
C5                     G5 
You finally made your mind 
    G5               A5 
You caught an early plane this morning 
C5                  G5     
News came down the line 
 
Chorus 1: 
    C5     A5   G5   A5                  D5   C5 
California dreamer leaving us all beh-i-i-iind 
 
 
I guess you feel that the sunshine 
is a better place than here 
All the things you've ever needed 
I hope you find out there 
 
Chorus 1 
 
I hear you're going to California 
Rolling Jimmy Rogers style 
I know sometime you will remember 
and think of us once in awhile. 
 
Chorus 2: 
California dreamer really love the stars in your eyes 
 
 
Bye bye 
California dreamer
