VERSE 1 

D                       Em 
Take a long drive with me 
                                 D 
On California one, On California one 
                         Em 
Take a long drive with me 
                                 D 
On California one, On California one 



And the road a-winding goes 
               Gm                     D 
From golden gate to roaring cliff-side 
                                        Gm                      D 
And the light is softly low as our hearts become sweetly untied 
              C G                 D 
Beneath the sun of California one 



VERSE 2
 

                        Em 
Take a long dram with me 
                                      D 
Of California wine, of California wine 
                        Em 
Take a long dram with me 
                                      D 
Of California wine, of California wine 



And the wine it tastes so sweet 
        Gm                  D 
As we lay our eyes to wander 

And the sky, it stretches deep 
           Gm                    D 
Will we rest our heads to slumber 
            C 
Beneath the vines of California wine? 
D           C   G                  D 
Beneath the sun of California One

D Em G Em G D

               D 
Annabelle lies, sleeps with quiet eyes 
       G  Em     G    Em 
On this sea-drift sun 
                D 
What can you do? 

And if I said, O it's in your head 
       G  Em     G    Em 
On this sea-drift sun 
                D 
What can you do? 



VERSE 1 

D 
We're calling all bed wetters and ambulance chasers 

Poor picker-pockets bring 'em in 



D/F#          G                        D 
Come join the youth and beauty brigade 
D/F#          G                        D 
Come join the youth and beauty brigade 



VERSE 2
 

We're lining up the light-loafers 

And the bored bench warmers 

Castaways and cutouts, fill it up 

 

D/F#          G                       D 
Come join the youth and beauty brigade 
D/F#          G                       D 
Come join the youth and beauty brigade 
 Em          F#m             G 
Nothing will stand in our way 



BRIDGE
 

                   A       D            G 
I figured I had paid my debt to society 
   F#m                  Em        G 
By paying my overdue fines at the Multnomah County Library, at 

the library they said son, go join up 
D           G                       D 
go join the youth and beauty brigade' 



D/F#          G                       D 
Come join the youth and beauty brigade 
D/F#          G                       D 
Come join the youth and beauty brigade 
D/F#          G                       D 
Come join the youth and beauty brigade 
Em          F#m             G 
Nothing will stand in our way
