G#m C#m
Going to calfornia,
G#m C#m
To live in the summer sun
G#m C#m
The streets are made of silver,
G#m C#m
Iʼm like a rabbit on the run
G#m C#m
Philadelphia freedom
G#m C#m
Well, itʼs not like you have heard
G#m C#m
The city of brotherly love
G#m C#m
Is full of pain and hurt
Chorus:
D#m C#m
Iʼm going to California
G#m C#m
To find my pot of gold
G#m C#m
Corruption on every corner
G#m C#m
Hustlers selling sweets
G#m C#m
baby is home crying
G#m C#m
While her mommaʼs on the streets
G#m C#m
Every bodys dying
G#m C#m
Have heard the news today
G#m C#m
A women in the Philly is mourninʼ
G#m C#m
A bullet took another son away
Chorus:
D#m C#m
Iʼm going to California
G#m C#m
Iʼm going far far away
G#m C#m
Iʼm going to California
G#m C#m
To resurrect my soul
G#m C#m
The sun is always shining
G#m C#m
Or at least thats what Iʼm told
Chorus:
D#m C#m
Iʼm going to California
G#m C#m
To find a better life for me
D#m C#m
Iʼm going to California
G#m C#m
Iʼll write and tell you what I see
D#m C#m
Iʼm going to California
G#m C#m G#m
Somebody say a prayer for me
