Tom: Am
1. Strophe:
Am D G
Get on board a west bound seven forty seven,
Am D G
Didn't think before deciding what to do.
Am D G
All that talk of opportunities TV breaks and movies
Am D G
Rang true, sure rang true.
Refrain:
Am D G
Seems it never rains in Southern California,
Am D G
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before.
Am D G Em
It never rains in California, But girl, don't they warn ya,
Am D G
It pours, man, it pours.
2. Strophe:
Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it,
Had offers but don't know which one to take.
Please don't tell them how you found me, don't tell them how you found me.
Give me a break, give me a break.
Refrain:
3. Strophe:
Out of work, I'm out a' my head, out of self respect, I'm out a' bread.
I'm underloved, I'm underfed. I wanna go home.
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn ya,
It pours, man, it pours.
Refrain:
