Intro:

A  Bm7  C  D, A (n.C)


Verse 1:
       A
Like a sound you hear,
             Bm7
That lingers in your ear,
        C
But you can't forget,
     D          A   Bm7       C  D
From sundown to sun-set, now.
         A
It's all in the air,
            Bm7
You hear it everywhere,
          C
No matter what you do,
     D            A       Bm7   C
It's gonna grab a hold on you.
     D      Am    F
Cali-fornia soul,
           E7
California soul.



Bridge 1:
             B7
They say the sun comes up,
      D
Every morning now,
           B7
And if you listen,
              D
Oh so careful-ly.

    A          Amaj7
The winds that ride,
       D
On the high time,
B7               C#7
 Whistle in melo-dy.



Chorus 1:
(C#7)
 And so the people,
A           Amaj7
 Started to sing,
                   F#m7
And that's how the surf,
              B7
Gave birth un-told,
              Am    F
To California soul,
           A     Bm7  C  D
California soul.



Verse 2:
         A
When you hear the beat,
          Bm7
You wanna pat your feet,
           C
And you've got to move,
          D
'Cos it's really,
A               Bm7  C  D
 Such a groove.
       A
Puts a brand new kind,
            Bm7
Of thinkin' in your mind,
        C
And you can't go wrong,
            D
'Cos you're groovin',
A        Bm7   C
 All day long.
    D      Am    F
California soul,
           E7
California soul.


Bridge 2:
             B7
They had the melody,
        D
And the beat,
       B7
But it still didn't,
         D
Seem com-plete.
               A
Until they saw two,
Amaj7   D
 Lovers kissin',
     B7
They knew just,
         C#7
What was missin'.



Chorus 1:
(C#7)
 So happy they were,
A            Amaj7
 Rockin' and reelin',
               F#m7
Because they'd added,
            B7
That lovin' feeling.
              Am    F
To California soul,
           A     Bm7  C  D
California soul.


Coda:
       A
Like a sound you hear,
             Bm7         C  D
That lingers in your ear.


Outro:
A  Bm7  C  D
(Repeat to Fade)
