D, A, G, A (X2)

[Verse 1]
D                 A               G    A
Baby, what do you say we just get lost
           D                       A                G    A
Leave this one horse town like two rebels without a cause
         D                            A                  G     A
I've got people in Boston, ain't your Daddy still in Des Moines
       D                 A                    G   A
We can pack up tomorrow, tonight let's flip a coin

[Chorus]
D               A
Heads Carolina, tails California
G                  A
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
D                    A
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
G                         A
Where, it don't matter as long as we're going
D                   A
Somewhere together, I've got a quarter
G               A
Heads Carolina, tails California

D,A,G,A

[Verse 2]
       D                       A                G  A
We can load what we own in the back of a U-Haul van
          D                 A                          G   A
Couple of modern day Moses' searching for the promised land
       D               A                        G  A
We can go four hundred miles before we stop for gas
       D               A                                 G  A
We can drive for a day and then we'll take a look at the map

[Chorus]
D               A
Heads Carolina, tails California
G                  A
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
D                    A
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
G                         A
Where, it don't matter as long as we're going
D                   A
Somewhere together, I've got a quarter
G               A
Heads Carolina, tails California

D,A,G,A (X2)

[Verse 3]
            D
We're gonna get outta here
           A                   G  A
If we have to ride a Greyhound bus
          D
Boy we're bound to outrun
    A                            G A
The bad luck that's been tailing us

[Chorus]
D               A
Heads Carolina, tails California
G                  A
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
D                    A
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
G                         A
Where, it don't matter as long as we're going
D                   A
Somewhere together, I've got a quarter
G               A
Heads Carolina, tails California
D  A  G   A             D  A  G  A
       O---oh, California!
D  A       G  A           D  A  G  A
   Carolina!     California!
