It never rains in southern california

G Am D G
1. Got on board a west bound seven forty-seven,
Am D G
didn't think before deciding what to do.
Am D G Em
All that talk of opportunities, T.V. breaks and movies
Am - D G
rang true, sure rang true.

Am D G - Em
Seems it never rains in Southern California,
Am D G - Em
seems I`ve often heard that kind of talk before.
Am D G Em
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya,
Am -D G
it pours, man it pours.
Am D
Out of work, I'm out of my head,
G
out of self respect, I'm out of bread,
Am D G
I'm underclothed, I'm underfed, I wanna go home.
Am D G Em
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya,
Am - D G
it pours, man it pours.

Am D G
2. Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it,
Am D G
I had offers but don't know which one to take.
Am D
Please don't tell them how you found me,
G
don't tell them how you found me,
Am - D G
give me a break, give me a break. + CHORUS
