Lyrics

[Intro]
| Am | D | G | - |
| Am | D | G | - |

[Verse 1]
            Am            D            G
Got on board  a westbound seven fortyseven
            Am           D              G
Didn't think  before deciding what to do
          Am               D
Ooh, that talk of opportunities
G
TV breaks and movies
     Am   D              G
Rang true, sure rang true

[Chorus]
         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
It never rains in California
    G                    Em
But girl, don't they warn  ya?
         Am D             G
It pours,    man, it pours

[Verse 2]
       Am                      D
Out of work, I'm out of my head
                   G
I'm out of self respect,
I'm out of bread
         Am
I'm underloved, I'm underfed
D           G
 I wanna go home

[Chorus]
         Am              D
It never rains in California
    G                    Em
But girl, don't they warn  ya?
         Am D             G
It pours,    man, it pours

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
         Am                      D         G
Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?
      Am                 D                 G
Had offers but don't know which one to take
             Am                    D
Please don't tell 'em how you found me
G                           Em
Don't tell 'em how you found  me
        Am    D          G
Gimme a break, give me a break

[Chorus]
         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
It never rains in California
    G                    Em
But girl, don't they warn  ya?
         Am D             G
It pours,    man, it pours
