E B A
[Chorus]
E
Far away but still i'm comin
E B
Home real soon, my mind is runnin'
B A
Always thinkin' bout goin' goin'
A E
Back, back, to Cali, Cali
E
Goin' goin
E B
Back, back, to Cali, Cali
A
That's where I ought to be...
[Verse]
E
Always travelin', mind rattlin', first stop Seattle
E
Then Carolina where I'ma set up for battlin'
B
It's like a jungle sometimes it makes you wonder
A
What they listening to back home, all I hear is thunder
E
Visions of Cali encircling my iris
E
Minutes of free time I'm writing; ink and papyrus
B
My homie showed me Raleigh and the southern flow
A
Still I'm dreamin' of my home in El Dorado
E
So I made my way to the bay towards Santa Fe
E
Float 'n' wrote about the delta like Mark Twain
B
Since '92 I've had this California view
A
Sunshine state of mind; man, I thought you knew
E
that I'm...
[Chorus]
E
Far away but still i'm comin

Home real soon, my mind is runnin'

Always thinkin' bout goin' goin'
A E
Back, back, to Cali, Cali
E
Goin' goin
E B
Back, back, to Cali, Cali
A
That's where I ought to be...
[Break] (x2)
E E B A
[Verse]
E
Westward bound with the Pacific Sound
E
White sandy beaches oh the lovin' we found
B
Overnight flight then I ride to Oceanside
A
Won't stop 'til I see the California sunrise
E
Gunnin' for Huntington, slow jam in Rosecrans
E
The bay to A in a day, no traffic jam
B
Three hundred and sixty five days of summer time
A
Passin' through Garden Grove, thinking of Sublime
E
Floatin' in the water, living to be alive
E
Forever charging the line like number fifty-five
B
Since ’92 I’ve had this Californian view
A
Sunshine state of mind; man, I thought you knew
E
that I’m...
[Chorus]
E
Far away but still i'm comin
E B
Home real soon, my mind is runnin'

Always thinkin' bout goin' goin'

Back, back, to Cali, Cali

Goin' goin
E B
Back, back, to Cali, Cali
A
That's where I ought to be...
