Oh, look out kids it's that time of year
         Dmaj7   Gmaj7  Dmaj7  Gmaj7
When ole Santa's on his way
Dmaj7      Gmaj7       Dmaj7  Gmaj7
Don't look now but the top is down
       Dmaj7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7  Gmaj7
On his candy apple sleigh

           F#m7
Headin' on down the coast
     B
Over surf and sand
    F#m7             B
The warm wind in his hair
           Em7        A7
Make no mistake, it's here

In California,                 wo-oh

    Dmaj7 Gmaj7          Dmaj7   Gmaj7
The boulevard, lights of red and green
       Dmaj7     Gmaj7    Dmaj7  Gmaj7
As the snowbirds make the scene
Dmaj7 Gmaj7       Dmaj7  Gmaj7
Hollywood doesn't miss a beat
      Dmaj7  Gmaj7     Dmaj7  Gmaj7
It's another childhood dream

           F#m7
Headin' on down the coast
     B
Over surf and sand
    F#m7              B
The warm wind in your hair
           Em7        A7
Make no mistake, it's here
        Dmaj7     Gmaj7
Holiday fun, good cheer
Em7                     A7
It's Christmas time for sure
       Dmaj7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Gmaj7
In California

Gmaj7  F#m7   Bm7
People say it can't be true
         Gmaj7  F#m7        Bm7
That the spirit lives here, too
    Gmaj7       F#m7      Bm7
But you'll find Christmas everywhere
      Em7                 A7
Under palm trees, sun and moon - ah
