Sitting in a park in Paris, France  reading the news and it sure looks bad 
                               B                                  E 
They won't give peace a chance, that was just a dream some of us had 
E                A                                  F# 
Stole a lot of lines to sing but I wouldn't want to stay here 
                  B                                A 
It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here

Ah but California, California I'm coming home 
A                            E                         B

I met a redneck on a Grecian isle, we did the goat dance very well 
                        B                                 E 
He gave me back my smile but he kept my camera to sell 
E                              A 
Oh the rogue, the red red rogue, he cooked good omelettes and stews 
      F#                                           B                       A
