Intro: D G D A 

    D                              G 
You always have a place to stay in Oakland 
    D                                A 
The sun shines brightly every day in Oakland 
    D                              E 
If you ask me I will tell you I'm not jokin' 
          D              A               D 
Because I always have a place to stay in Oakland 


There's a girl with eyes of deepest green in Oakland 
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen in Oakland 
In the sweetest voice ever spoken 
She says, "You always have a place to stay in Oakland" 

     G                                                              D 
They say unintelligible- insert current city here is the place to be 
    E                                  A 
But that ain't where my baby waits for me 

Solos: D G D A 

You always have a place to stay in Oakland 
It breaks my heart to drive away from Oakland 
If I leave this city's limits I'm hopin' 
       D             A                D 
That I always have a place to stay in Oakland 
       D             A                G         D 
That I always have a place to stay in Oakland
