Verse 1: D Once upon a time in Hollywood A When Carol called my name D I stood up, the room exploded, and I A E Knew that’s it, I'll never be the same D That's when the doors swung open A E And the voice said: We're glad you came D Now I've spent thousands on you, darling A D Oh, the hotels and the jets and I'd pay it all again A E To have your golden body back in my bed D A E But I don't miss the poison arrows aimed directly at my head Pre-chorus: Bm Gbm Goodbye to all the bottles, all the models D Gbm E Back to the clouds in the skies in a whole new way Chorus: D Don't want that California love A E D Don't want that California love A E Don't want that California love Verse 2: D Oh, once upon a time the Canyon store A Was where my world began D A E All that mystery and beauty gleaned from desert flowers and gifted children D A E But it got hard to grow up with your cool hand around my neck D A Now in my hometown, sunbathing D A My girlfriends and my baby E D But every time I smell tequila E God, it goes up in my mind again Pre-chorus: Bm Gbm Goodbye to all the bottles, all the models D Gbm E Back to the kids in the lines for the new Supreme Chorus: D Don't want that California love A E D Don't want that California love A E D Don't want that California love A E D Don't want that California love A E D Don't want that California love A E D Don't want that California love Outro: A E D (Hmm) It's just a dream A E D (Hmm) It's just a dream A E D (Hmm) Said it's just a dream A E D A E (Hmm) I wanna wake up, I wanna wake up This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
