On my way to sunny Cal-i-forn-i-a,

ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
the sun shines brightly down on Penny's Place,
ch]C[/ch
the sun shines brightly down on the bay.

keep your mind away, take your mind away...

they don't need electricity.(on my way)
ch]C[/ch
water, water, get yourself in that cool clear water,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
the sundance final scene sets the hills ablaze.

ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
up the mountain's way...up the mountain's way.

And have you ever been down Salinas way,
