  Real easy song, strum; 
 
 
  VERSE 1 
 
 
  A 
  I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight  
  E 
  On a bed of California stars 
  D 
  I'd like to lay my weary bones tonite 
  A 
  On a bed of California stars 
 
   
  VERSE 2(same chords) 
 
  I'd love to feel your hand touching mine 
  And tell me why I must keep working on 
  Yes, i'd give my life to la my head tonight 
  On a bed of California stars 
 
   
  VERSE 3 
 
  I'd like to dream my troubles are away 
  On a bed of Califrnia stars 
  Jump up from a starbed and make another day 
  Underneath my California stars 
 
   
  VERSE 4 
  
  They hang like grapes on vines that shine  
  And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine 
  So, I'd give this world just to dream a dream with you 
  On our bed of California stars 
 
 
  
  "GO WEST PARADISE IS THERE YOU'LL HAVE ALL THAT YOU CAN EAT OF MILK AND HONEY OVER THERE"
