Intro  A  Bm  A  Bm

        A                            Bm
I could stay in California -- stay a little dim 
              A                   F
But there's a light bulb on in my head 
        A                     Bm
I might move out east to some college town 
      A                          C#       D
Study big thick books -- turn my fortune around 
Dm              A
Roll L.A. river roll 
    Esus4               F#m              E       F#m
And take me to a better world   - Ooooooo
F#m                                   E     Esus4  E    
  To where the streets are lined with gold 

            A                              Bm
Now I could drive some old car through the desert tonight 
         A                F
Sleep on hotel sheets all soft and white 
       A                                   Bm
I will stop at the Mystery Spot, see water run up hill 
  A                       C#          D
I know I can make it, I'm convinced I will 
Dm              A
Roll L.A. river roll 
    Esus4               F#m
And take me to a better world 
                             E  
    Where the sun shines all day 
F#m                           E    Esus  E
   And the children laugh and play 

A                                                   Bm
(What a world, what a world) 
                             I can see it all in my dreams 
A                                                         Bm
(What a world, what a wonderful world) 
                             And I really wanna make that scene 
          A                        E
Where the people are nice, and the air is clean 
       D                       A
What a beautiful world it must be 

C   G                        D
  I believe I have found the river of life 
C    G                        D
  It flows like blood through my veins 
G
  I hear a pounding like a heart beat 
Em                                    A
  I can hear the thunder bringing the diamond rain 

        A                           Bm
I could stay in California, but I'd die in these streets 
          A                         F
There's a pearly mansion here in my head 
        A                            Bm
I see a light like the sun where the children run 
           A                            C#        D
If I could move these legs, I'd turn my fortunes around 
Dm              A
Roll L.A. river roll 
Esus4        F#m
Roll on over me 
                                    E
To where the streets are lined with gold 
F#m                     E
      And God is on His throne 

A                                                   Bm
