All the (F) gold (Bb) (F) in (Bb) Cali(F)fornia 
Is (Bb) in a (F) bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody else’s (C) name
So (C7) if  you’re (F) dreaming (Bb) (F) about (Bb) Cali(F)fornia
(Bb) It don’t (F) matter at all where you’ve played before
Cali(C)fornia’s a brand (C11) new (F) game (Bb) (F)

Tryin’ to be a (Bb) hero, winding up a (F) zero
Can(Bb) scar a man for(F)ever right down to your (C) soul
Living (C11) on the (F) spotlight can (Bb) kill a man (F) outright
Cause (Bb) everything that (F) glitters (C) is (C11) not (F) gold
