Am                  G               Am   
the redtail hawk writes songs across the sky
         Am           G             Am
there's music in the waters flowing by
Am                  G                 Am 
and you can hear a song each time the wind sighs
        G              G          Am
in the golden rolling hills of california
        G              G          Am
in the golden rolling hills of california

      Am            G                   Am 
it's been so long, love, since you said goodbye
    Am              G            Am
my cabin's been as lonesome as a cry
             Am          G             Am
but there's comfort in clouds drifting by
        G               G          Am
in the golden rolling hills of california
        G              G           Am
in the golden rolling hills of california

   Am              G             Am 
a neighbor came today to lend a hand
    Am                G             Am
he saw i'd fixed the road as best i can
Am           G                           Am
but there's just some things that need a man's hand
        G              G           Am
in the golden rolling hills of california
        G              G           Am
in the golden rolling hills of california

    Am                  G               Am   
the redtail hawk writes songs across the sky
         Am           G             Am
there's music in the waters flowing by
Am                  G                 Am 
and you can hear a song each time the wind sighs
        G              G          Am
in the golden rolling hills of california
        G              G          Am
in the golden rolling hills of california
