     G         Am                            D                G

1. Got on board a west bound seven forty-seven,

              Am                  D                      G

    didn't think before deciding what to  do.

                Am               D          G                          Em

    All that talk of opportunities, T.V. breaks and movies

             Am   - D                  G

    rang true,       sure rang true.

                Am                   D                 G          - Em

Seems it never rains in Southern California,

                    Am                     D                   G      - Em

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.

            Am                           D

Out of work, I'm out of my head,

                        G  

out of self respect, I'm out of bread,

                Am                       D                        G

I'm underclothed, I'm underfed, I wanna go home.

               Am             D              G                   Em

It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya,

     Am     - D              G

it pours,        man it pours.

                  Am                          D                     G

2. Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it,

              Am                      D                         G

    I had offers but don't know which one to take.

                        Am                          D

    Please don't tell them how you found me,

              G       

    don't tell them how you found me,

                      Am   - D                    G

    give me a break,     give me a break.    + CHORUS
