Capo II *
 
[Intro]
 
Dm  G  C 2x
 
[Verse 1]
 
C        Dm                G           C
Got on a board a westbound seven forty seven
       Dm             G              C
Didn't think before deciding what to do
         Dm           G         C             Am
All that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
     Dm   G          C
Rang true, sure rang true.
 
[Chorus]
 
         Dm             G            C     Am
Seems it never rains in Southern California
           Dm               G              C
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
         Dm           G
It never rains in California
    C                 Am
But girls, don't they warn ya
   Dm    G        C
It pours  man, it pours.
 
[Bridge]
 
       Dm                  G
Out of work, I'm out of my head
               C                Am
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
          Dm               G
I'm under loved, I'm under fed
           C
I wanna go home
         Dm           G
It never rains in California
    C                 Am
But girls, don't they warn ya
   Dm    G        C
It pours  man, it pours.
 
[Interlude]
 
Dm  G  C 2x
 
[Verse 2]
 
         Dm                  G             C
Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it
    Dm               G                 C
Had offers but don't know which one to take
             Dm                G
Please don't tell them how you found me
      C                 Am
Don't tell them how you found me,
          Dm    G          C
Give me a break, give me a break
 
[Chorus]
 
         Dm             G            C     Am
Seems it never rains in Southern California
           Dm               G              C
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
         Dm           G
It never rains in California
    C                 Am
But girls, don't they warn ya
   Dm    G       C
It pours  man it pours.
