6 alifornia Stars intro: A E D A I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight E On a bed of alifornia stars D I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight A On a bed of alifornia stars A I'd love to feel your hand touching mine E And tell me why I must keep working on D Yes I'd give my life to lay my head tonight A On a bed of alifornia stars A I'd like to dream my troubles all away E On a bed of alifornia stars D Jump up from my star bed and make another day A Underneath my alifornia stars A They hang like grapes on vines that shine E And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine D So, Id give this world Just to dream a dream with you A On our bed of alifornia stars
