IT NEVER RAINS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
The Mamas and the Papas

Griffe:

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:
