[Verse 1]
      B
Well, east coast girls are hip,
         A
I really dig those styles they wear.
        E
And the southern girls, with the way they talk,
              F#
They knock me out when I'm down there.


[Verse 2]
    B
The Midwest farmers' daughters,
       A               
Really make you feel alright.
        E
And the northern girls with the way they kiss,
                F#
They keep their boyfriends warm at night.


[Chorus]
                   B                   C#m
I dig the girls; I wish they all could be California, woo.
  A                   Bm
I wish they all could be California, wow.
  G                   Am            B
I wish they all could be California girls.


[Verse 3]
    B
The west coast has the sunshine,
        A                
And the girls all get so tanned.
        E
I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian Island coast,
     F#
By a palm tree in the sand.


[Verse 4]
  B
I been all around this great big world
         A                 
And I've seen all kinds of girls
          E
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the States
            F#
Back to the cutest girls in the world.


[Chorus]
                    B                   C#m
I dig them girls; I wish they all could be California, wow,
  A                   Bm
I wish they all could be California, woo,
  G                   Am            B
I wish they all could be California girls.. wow!
