D
G
If everybody in the U.S.A
A7
Could come with us to Californ-i-a
C
We could take 'em to a place out west
D G
Where the good sun shines everyday
G
Now there's a touch o' Californ-i-a
A7
In everyone who's ever been this way
C
And when your telephone begins to ring
D G
And the operator comes on the line
[Chorus]
G C
California callin'
G Em
I'll be there right away
A7
There's some beautiful women
Gonna find me one
Am7 D Am7 D
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave
G
Now I've joined the surfin' nation and so
A7
I'll take a permanent vacation and go
C
To the golden shores of 'Frisco Bay
D G
I'll ride 'em all the way to Malibu
G
And I'll take ya' boogie boardin' with me
A7
'Cause when we're surfin' it's so great to be free
C
And when you're on a California beach
D G
You might even find 'em windsurfin' too
[Chorus]
G C
California callin'
G Em
I'll be there right away
A7
There's some beautiful women
Gonna find me one
Am7 D Am7 D
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave
G
In the fifties it was "Hey Daddy O"
A7
Then came the surfers and the Hodads ya' know
C
We had our woodies and our custom cars
D G
And when we drove around we knew we were bad
G
My baby listens to my car radio
A7
And when we're cruisin' lets the whole world know
C
And when our favorite surfin' song comes on
D G
We always let 'em know it's "Totally Rad!"
[Chorus]
G C
California callin'
G Em
I'll be there right away
A7
There's some beautiful women
Gonna find me one
Am7 D Am7 D
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave
G C
California callin'
G Em
She's still on the line
A7
There's a beautiful woman
Gonna show me how
Am7 D Am7 D
To ride 'em at the county line
G C
California callin'
G Em
I'll be there right away
A7
There's some beautiful women
Am7 D Am7 D
