California Stars

intro: A E D

A

I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight

E

On a bed of California stars

D

I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight

A

On a bed of California stars

A

I'd love to feel your hand touching mine

E

And tell me why I must keep working on

D

Yes I'd give my life to lay my head tonight

A

On a bed of California stars

A

I'd like to dream my troubles all away

E

On a bed of California stars

D

Jump up from my star bed and make another day

A

Underneath my California stars

A

They hang like grapes on vines that shine

E

And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine

D

So, Id give this world

Just to dream a dream with you

A

On our bed of California stars
