California, Here I Come
Al Jolson
Chorded by Alaina Musich

California Here I Come was the top rated song in 1924, and is mostly known by
the chorus. The verses are a
little harder to pin down, and because of that, I only teach the Chorus to my
classes until I'm ready to
move onto the verses. Usually we don't get that far, so I'm sticking to the
chorus here.
I will edit to include the verses when I need to personally, or if requested.
This song is forgiving in that you don't necessarily need to include the
Augmented and Diminished chords -
they fill out the song, but may be skipped, played normally, or as written,
depending on your expertise.
Sticking to the basic chords for this song is completely fine.
D Daug G
California, here I come
A A7 D
Right back where I started from.
D Fdim Edim A7
Where bowers of flowers bloom in the spring.
D Fdim
Each morning at dawning,
Edim A7
Birdies sing an' everything.
D Daug G
A sunkist miss said, "Don't be late"
A A7+5 D
That's why I can hardly wait.
G Gm B7 E7
Open up that Golden Gate,
G A7 A7 D
California here I come.
