C             D7        F          G7        C
I got off the airplane 'long about 7:30 in L.A.
               D7           F               G7               C
What a drag to realize that everything's so different and so same
F          G7                 C                   Am
All my California friends are searching for their minds
         F                G7                     C
And it's been right there in their heads all the time
     F          C     Am
L.A. blues L.A. blues you want me to be like you
                     C
Ha ha there ain't no way
C          D7      F            G7              C
California Charlie met me at my room when I got in
           D7
We toasted country picking
        F                    G7         C
And the help of all our good and mutual friends
F                  G7            C             Am
Before the morning came we put a handle on the world
      F               G7             C
And decided that we'd give it to the squirrels
     F          C     Am
L.A. blues L.A. blues you want me to be like you
                     C
Ha ha there ain't no way
C               D7           F               G7         C
Soaking up that sunshine and eating eggs and bacon over light
                      D7         F             G7                 C
Sleeping through the daytime and contemplating sin throughout the night
F                 G7              C               Am
Please hand me my hat and darling give me back my things
    F         G7                C
Ole T's got a bunch of songs to sing
     F          C     Am
L.A. blues L.A. blues you want me to be like you
                     C
Ha ha there ain't no way
C                     D7         F       G7             C
I like California and I wouldn't want to put it down no way
                        D7       F                    G7             C
But I heard what you're thinking and it ain't exactly what I want to say
F           G7               C               Am
Someday California I'll come roarin' back to you
   F                     G7             C
If you don't fall in the ocean before I do
     F          C     Am
L.A. blues L.A. blues you want me to be like you
                     C
Ha ha there ain't no way
