Here In California By Dave Alvin 8/27/2011 Capo 2 G When I was young my mother told me D Em She said son take your time C G Don't fall in love too quickly Am C Before you know your mind G She held me around the shoulders D Em And in a voice soft and kind C G She said love can make you happy Am G And love can rob you blind Chorus: Am D G Here in California Am D Em Fruit hangs heavy on the vines C G There's no gold, I thought I'd warn you Am D G And the hills turn brown in the summertime Will I may learn to love you But I can't say when This morning we were strangers Tonight we're only friends But I'll take the time to know you I'll take the time to see There's nothing that I won't show you If you take your time with me Chorus It??s an old familiar story It??s an old familiar rhyme To everything there is a season To every purpose there's a time Time to love and come together Time when love longs for a name A time for questions that we can't answer But we ask them just the same Chorus There's no gold I thought I'd warn you But the hills turn brown in the summertime
