California Promises
By: Steve Goodman
1983

            B
Beneath the moonlit sky
               E
Shadows walk beside the water
F#                           B
Sad goodbye whispered on the shore
           B
Hear those wind chimes play
                  E
They serenade the shadow lovers
         F#
Ring and fade away
                B
Like California promises

D                  G
I will never love another
Em                    F#
Wait for me, 'til I return
        B
But she never will
                   E
He waits for her beside the water
F#
Faithful still
              B
To California promises

(guitar solo)

I will never love another
Wait for me, 'til I return
Though she never will
He waits for her beside the water
Faithful still
To California promises



(guitar solo)
