             G
I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight
      D
On a bed of California stars
             C
I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight
      G
On a bed of California stars
             G
I'd love to feel your hand touching mine
              D
And tell me why I must keep working on
          C
Yes, i'd give my life to lay my head tonight
      G
On a bed of California stars
 
intro
 
              G
I'd like to dream my troubles are away
      D
On a bed of Califrnia stars
C
Jump up from a starbed and make another day
      G
Underneath my California stars
                 G
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
              D
And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine
         C
So, I'd give this world just to dream a dream with you
        G
On our bed of California stars
