Words & Music:

Albert Louis Hammond

 

 [capo 2]  Am  D  G  Em    Am  D  G

 

      Am                D G         Am             D              G

Got onboard a westbound 747; didn't think before decidin' what to do.

         Am           D       G              Em

All that talk of opportunity, T.V breaks and movies

     Am  D            G

Ring true, sure rang true.

 

CHORUS:

         Am              D           G     Em

Seems it never rains in southern California.

           Am               D              G

Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before.

          Am          D            G                Em

It never rains in California; but, girl, don't they warn ya

        Am      D       G

That it pours.  Man, it pours.

 

BRIDGE:

          Am                 D                   G                Em

I'm outta work, I'm outta my head.  Outta self-respect, I'm outta bread.

         Am             D                G

I'm underloved and underfed.  I wanna go home.

 

CHORUS:

 

INSTRUMENTAL OVER:  Am  D  G  Em    Am  D  G    Am  D  G  Em   Am  D  G

 

Will you tell the folks back home, I nearly made it?

Had offers, but don't know which one to take.

Please don't tell 'em how you found me, don't tell 'em how you found me.

Gimme a break, give me a break

 

CHORUS:

 

Am  D  G  Em    Am  D  G    Am  D  G  Em   Am  D  G
