Verse 1:
B B9
Well, East Coast girls are hip, I really dig those styles
they wear
E
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
F#
They knock me out when I’m down there
B B9
The midwest farmers’ daughters really make you feel alright
E
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
F#
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
Chorus:
B C#m7
I wish they all could be California,
A Bm7
I wish they all could be California,
G Am7 B
I wish they all could be California Girls
Verse 2:
The West coast has the sunshine, and the girls all get
so tanned
I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian Island dolls
By a palm tree in the sand
I been all around this great big world and I’ve seen
all kinds of girls
But I couldn’t wait to get back in the states,
Back to the cutest girls in the world
Кepeat chorus
