Take a long drive with me on California one, California one
Take a long drive with me on California one, California one
D Ddim/A Ddim/AaddG D
And the road a-winding goes from golden gate to roaring cliff-side
And the light is softly low as our hearts become sweetly untied
Em7/B Em7/B(II) D (riff) D
Beneath the sun of California one
Take a long dram with me of California wine
Take a long dram with me of California wine
And the wine it tastes so sweet, as we lay our eyes to wander
And the sky, it stretches deep, will we rest our heads to slumber
Beneath the vines of California wine
Beneath the sun of California one

By paying my overdue fines at the Multnomah county library, at the library
