Hammond, Albert - It Never Rains In Southern California

           Am7                        D               G
Got on board a west bound seven forty seven.
          Am7                    D              G
Didn't think before deciding what to do.
G         Am                D        G
All that talk of opportunities. T.V. break and movies.
         Am7   D             G         C
Rang true.    Sure rang true.


Chorus:
             Am7               D                 G
Seems it never rains in Southern California.
                  Am7                            D                    G
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before.
             Am7          D             G                    Em
It never rains in California. But girl, don't they warn ya.
   Am7    D        G           C
It pours,  man it pours.


             Am7                    D                    G
Will you tell the folks back home. I nearly made it.
          Am7              D                          G
Had offers but don't know which one to take.
G                 Am7                    D
Please don't tell them how you found me
G                                                                 Am7
Don't tell them how you found me. give me a break.
                G            C
Give me a break.

           Am7                      D
Out of work I'm out a' my head.
                 G
Out of self respect, I'm out a' bread.
               Am7                D                      G
I'm underloved, I'm underfed. I wanna go home.
