I know a place
F#m G A Bm
Where the grass is really greener
F#m G A Bm
Warm, wet and wild
F#m G A Bm
There must be something in the water
F#m G A Bm
Sipping, gin and juice
F#m G A Bm
Laying underneath the palm trees
F#m G A Bm
The boys, break their necks
F#m G A Bm
Trying to creep a little sneak peek, at us
Bridge:
A Bm
You could travel the world
G
But nothing comes close to the golden coast
A Bm
Once you party with us
G
You’ll be falling in love oh ohohohohoh
Chorus:

F#m G A Bm
Sex on a beach
F#m G A Bm
We get sand in our stilettos

We freak in my jeep
F#m G A Bm
Snoop Doggy Dogg on the stereo
Bridge
Chorus
Toned, tan, fit and ready, turn it up cause its gettin’ heavy
Wild wild west coast, these are the girls I love the most
I mean the ones, I mean like she’s the one, kiss her, touch her, squeeze her buns
The girls a freak, she drives a jeep the men on the beach,
I’m okay, I won’t play, I love the bay Just like I love LA
Venice Beach and Palm Springs summer time is everything
Come on boys, hanging out all that ass hanging out
Bikinis, tankinis, martinis, no weenies just to get in betweeny
Katy my lady (yeah) you looking here baby (uh huh)
I’m all up on you cause you representing California
Chorus
California girls man
I wish they all could be California girls
I wish they all could be California girls
There’s only a few children who do what we do

How to practise this song
- 1
Put your capo on fret 3
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
- 2
Practise the barre chord Bm
Bm is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open - 3
Practise the change: Bm ↔ A
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.
Open - 4
Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
