INTRO (strike once): D

VERSE 1:
            
Working all day
                  
And the sun don't shine
              
Trying to get by
                     
And I'm just killin' time
           
I feel the rain
                     
Fall the whole night through
                  
Far away from you
           
California Blue

CHORUS:
           
California Blue
              
Dreaming all alone
                
Nothing else to do
           
California Blue
           
Everyday I pray
              
I'll be on my way
                
Saving love for you
           
California Blue

BRIDGE:

One Sunny Day
         
I'll get back again
            
Somehow, someway
      
But I don't know when
           
California Blue
           
California Blue

VERSE 2:
          
Living my life
               
With you on my mind
            
Thinking of things
                  
That I left far behind
             
It's been so long
                
Doing all I can do
                   
To get back to you
           
California Blue

REPEAT CHORUS & BRIDGE: --->

OUTTRO (Repeat 3 times):
                  
Still missing you
           
California Blue
