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
DG 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
DG And the operator comes on the line
 [Chorus] 
GC California callin'
GEm I'll be there right away
A7 There's some beautiful women
 Gonna find me one 
Am7DAm7 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
DG 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
DG You might even find 'em windsurfin' too
 [Chorus] 
GC California callin'
GEm I'll be there right away
A7 There's some beautiful women
 Gonna find me one 
Am7DAm7 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
DG 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
DG We always let 'em know it's "Totally Rad!"
 [Chorus] 
GC California callin'
GEm I'll be there right away
A7 There's some beautiful women
 Gonna find me one 
Am7DAm7 D To show me how to ride the ultimate wave
 
GC California callin'
GEm She's still on the line
A7 There's a beautiful woman
 Gonna show me how 
Am7DAm7 D To ride 'em at the county line
 
GC California callin'
GEm I'll be there right away
A7 There's some beautiful women
Am7DAm7 D
