All the gold in Californ-ia is in a bank in the middle 
                                     G7  
Of Beverly Hills in somebody else's name 
              C                F     C  
So if you're dreaming about Californ-ia 
 F          C  
It don't matter at all where you played before 
     G7                     C  
California's a brand new game 
 
                F                     C  
Trying to be a he-ro  winding up a zero 
     F            C                        G7  
Can scar a man forever right down to his soul 
               C               F            C  
Living on the spotlight can kill a man outright 
       F                 C           G7    C  
Cause everything that glitters  is not gold
