Standard (EADGBE)

Got on a board a west bound seven forty seven

 Didn't think before deciding what to do

 All that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies

 Rang true, sure rang true.

 Seems it never rain in Southern California

 Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before

 It never rains in California

 But girls, don't they warn ya

 It pours man it pours.

 Out of work, I'm out of my head

 Out of self respect I'm out of bread

 I'm under loved I'm under fed

 I wanna go home

 It never rains in California

 But girls, don't they warn ya

 It pours man it pours.

 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, give me a break

 Seems it never rain in Southern California

 Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before

 It never rains in California

 But girls, don't they warn ya

 It pours man it pours.
