[Verse 1]
D               Bm
Well, no matter where I wandered
G                  A
I know I'll always find a welcome
D      Bm      F#m   Bm
at the end of every journey
   G                 A
There'll be friendly people waitin'

[Chorus]
D          Bm
California would not hold me
G                   A
'though I loved her timber mountains
D        Bm            F#m        Bm
Worked her fields and worked her orchids
 G               A
up and down her central valley

[Verse 2]
D              Bm
I have driven open highway
G                  A
through the golden Utah valley
D      Bm         F#m           Bm
And I watched the rivers gently gliding.
G                 A
I wave my hand to friendly people

[Chorus]
D          Bm
California would not hold me
G                   A
'though I loved her timber mountains
D        Bm            F#m        Bm
Worked her fields and worked her orchids
 G               A
up and down her central valley

[Verse 3]
D                 Bm
Folks who know me call me a drifter.
G                   A
They don't know I'll stop my ramblin'
D          Bm        F#m   Bm
They don't know that someday
G                    A
somewhere somebody's gonna make me settle down

[Bridge]
D               Bm
I'm going home, Lord,
G         A
I'm going home.
D               Bm
I'm going home, Lord,
G         A
I'm going home.

[Verse 4]
D               Bm
Well, no matter where I wandered
G                  A
I know I'll always find a welcome
D      Bm      F#m   Bm
at the end of every journey
   G                 A
There'll be friendly people waitin'

[Outro]
D          Bm
California would not hold me
G                   A
'though I loved her timber mountains
D        Bm            F#m        Bm
Worked her fields and worked her orchids
 G               A
up and down her central valley
G   A     D
I'm going home.
