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)
