[Verse 1:]
Well, BEast Coast girls are hip, I really A/Bdig those styles they wear
And the SEouthern girls with the way they talk
They knock me F#out when I'm down there
The mBidwest farmers' daughters really mA/Bake you feel alright
And the NEorthern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their F#boyfriends warm at night
[Chorus:]
I Bwish they all couldC#m7 be California,
I Awish they all could Bm7be California,
I Gwish they all could Am7be California BGirls
[Verse 2:]
The BWest coast has the sunshine, and the A/Bgirls all get so tanned
I dig a EFrench bikini on Hawaiian Island dolls
By a F#palm tree in the sand
I Bbeen all around this great big world and I've A/Bseen
all kinds of girls
But I Ecouldn't wait to get back in the states,
Back to the F#cutest girls in the world
[Chorus:]
I Bwish they all couldC#m7 be California,
I Awish they all could Bm7be California,
I Gwish they all could Am7be California BGirls
