[Intro]
C#On my way to sunny Cal-i-forn-i-a,
C#on my way to spend another sunny day.
[Chorus]
wC#ater, water, get yourself in the cool clear water,
the sF#un shines brightly down on Penny's PlC#ace,
the sC#un shines brightly down on the bay.
the aF#ir's so clean it'll just take your mind awC#ay,
keep your mind awG#ay, take your mind awF#ay...
[Verse]
Have you eC#ver been south of Monterey?
Barrancas carve the coF#astline.
And the chG#aparral flows to the sea,
'neath waves of golden sC#unshine.(on my way)
[Verse]
And have you eC#ver been north of Morro Bay,
the south coast plows the sF#ea,
and the peG#ople there are of the breed,
they don't need electricitC#y.(on my way)
[Chorus]
wC#ater, water, get yourself in that cool clear water,
the sF#undance final scene sets the hills ablC#aze.
HorF#izon edges quick up the mountain's wC#ay,
up the mountain's wG#ay...up the mountain's wF#ay.
[Verse]
And have you eC#ver been down Salinas way,
where Steinbeck found the vF#alley,
and he wrG#ote about it the way it was,
in his "Travellin's with ChC#arlie"?
[Verse]
and have you eC#ver walked down through the sycamores,
where the farmhouse used to F#be?
There the MG#onarch's autumn journey ends,
on a windswept Cypress trC#ee.
[Chorus]
wC#ater, water, get yourself in that cool clear water,
the sF#un shines brightly down on Penny's PlC#ace,
KeC#ep yourself in that water...
the aF#ir's so clean just takes your mind aC#way,
takes your mind awG#ay, takes your mind awF#ay...
[Verse]
and have you eC#ver been to a festival,
the Big Sur congregF#ation?
Where CoG#untry Joe will do his show,
and he'll sing about libertC#y.
[Outro]
and the peG#ople there, in the open air,
are one big familC#y.
Yeah, the peG#ople there, love to sing and share
their newfound libertC#y. G#7 C#
