---------------------................
 (Original Key: )
 Like a sound  you hear, that lingers in  your ear,
 But you can't  forget, from sundown  to sun-set,  now.
 It's all in  the air, you hear it everywhere,
 No matter what  you do; it's gonna  grab a hold  on you.
 Cali-fornia soul,  California soul.
 They say the sun  comes up, every morning  now,
 And if you listen,  oh, so careful-ly.
 The winds  that ride,  on the high  time, whistle  in melo-dy.
 And so the people started  to sing,
 And that's how the surf  gave birth, un-told,
 To California soul,  California soul.
 When you hear  the beat, you wanna pat  your feet,
 And you've got  to move, 'cos it's really such  a groove.
 Puts a brand  new kind of thinkin' in  your mind,
 And you can't  go wrong, 'cos you're groovin' all  day long.
 Cali-fornia soul,  California soul.
 They had the melody  and the beat,
 But it still  didn't seem com-plete.
 Until they saw two lovers kissin';
 They knew  just what was missin'.
 So happy they were, rockin'  and reelin',
 Because they'd added  that lovin' feeling.
 To California soul,  California soul.
 Like a sound  you hear, that lingers in  your ear.
 (Repeat to Fade)
