Verse 1: G F Well, East Coast girls are hip, I really dig those styles they wear C And the Southern girls with the way they talk D They knock me out when I'm down there G F The midwest farmers' daughters really make you feel alright C And the Northern girls with the way they kiss D They keep their boyfriends warm at night Chorus: G Am7 I wish they all could be California, F Gm7 I wish they all could be California, Eb Fm7 G I wish they all could be California Girls Verse 2: F The West coast has the sunshine, and the girls all get so tanned C I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian Island dolls D By a palm tree in the sand G F I been all around this great big world and I've seen all kinds of girls C But I couldn't wait to get back in the states, D Back to the cutest girls in the world Chorus: G Am7 I wish they all could be California, F Gm7 I wish they all could be California, Eb Fm7 G I wish they all could be California Girls Outro (repeat): G Am7 I wish they all could be California girls (wish they all could be California) This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
