IT NEVER RAINS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA     (Albert Hammond)


       Am                D7          G
Got on board a westbound seven-forty-seven
       Am             D7             G
Didn't think before deciding what to do
         Am           D7        G               Em
All that talk of opportunities, T.V. breaks and movies
     Am   D          G
Rang true, sure rang true


CHORUS: (same tune)

Seems it never rains in Southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in  California but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours!


        Am                 D7                G
 Out of work I'm out of my head, out of self-respect, I'm out of bread
          Am        D7                   G
 I'm underloved and underfed..I wanna go home

CHORUS

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it
Had offers but didn't know which one to take
Please don't tell them how you found me,
Don't tell him how you found me
Gimme a break, gimme a break

CHORUS
