Intro: G   Am G   D   Em   C  ~ ~ G    Am   C 

           G        Gsus4 G 
When I was young my mamma told me 
          D               Em 
She said, child take your time 
      C                G 
Don't fall in love too quickly 
  Am                 C     ~  ~ 
Before you know your mind 
    G        Gsus4     G 
She held me 'round the shoulders 
     D                 Em 
In a voice so soft and kind 
          C                 G 
She said, love can make you happy 
    Am  D            G      ~  ~ 
And love can rob you blind 



C  D        G     
Here in California 
    Am          D7           Em 
The fruit hangs heavy on the vine 
           C    Em             G 
There's no gold, I thought I'd warn ya 
        Am         D                  G      Am G 
And the hills turn brown in the summertime 


    G     Gsus2    G         D 
Now I may learn to love you 
                Em 
But I can't say when 
     C                G 
This morning we were strangers 
      Am                C      ~  ~ 
And tonight we're only friends 
     G       Gsus4   G 
I'll take my time to know you 
     D               Em 
I'll take my time to see 
        C               G         Am 
There's nothing I won't show you 
       D                   G    ~  ~ 
If you take your time with me 



C  D        G     
Here in California 
    Am          D7           Em 
The fruit hangs heavy on the vine 
           C    Em             G 
There's no gold, I thought I'd warn ya 
        Am         D                  G 
And the hills turn brown in the summertime
