[Verse 1]
C                 C/B
Looking around at Tinseltown
   Am                      C
It doesn't have the right vibe
F             C                   Am       G
How can it be Christmas when it's 74 outside
C                    C/B
I miss the glow, the falling snow
Am               C
Lights one every street
F                     C/B
The crisp bite of the air
        F                 G
And the crunch beneath my feet

[Pre-chorus]
Am            E            C            D*
I might be so far away and feeling all alone
         F
But it's time to make some new traditions
      G
Cause I can't make it home

[Chorus]
            C    C/B    Am
We'll have a California Christmas
F               G
Surf instead of sleigh
C          C/B           Am
It may not be what we're used to
    F             G
And maybe that's okay
C                   E
Palm trees swaying, children playing
Am                D*    C   C/B
In Beverly Hills A , in California
Am                 F       Fm C
Christmas is still with us anyway

[Verse 2]
C               C/B
Chasing dreams, starlet scenes
Am                  C
Making a name for myself
F               C
All my Yuletide memories
      Am                   G
In an old frame on the shelf
C             C/B
I didn't know 5 below
        Am             C
And the frost upon the glass
    F                 C
How much those things meant to me
C/B               G
Memories from the past

[Pre-chorus]
Am            E            C            D*
I might be so far away and feeling all alone
         F
But it's time to make some new traditions
      G
Cause I can't make it home

[Chorus]
            C    C/B    Am
We'll have a California Christmas
F              G
Sun instead of ice
C          C/B           Am
It may not be what we're used to
    F               G
But maybe that'd be nice
C                   E
Palm trees swaying, children playing
Am                D*    C   C/B
In Beverly Hills A , in California
Am                 F       Fm C
Christmas is still with us anyway

            C    C/B    Am
We'll have a California Christmas
             F             G
Our favorite season in the sand
    C           C/B    Am
The first thing on our wishlist
            F           G
To have the merriest we can
C                   E
Palm trees swaying, children playing
Am                D*
In Beverly Hills A 
C   C/B    Am         C   C/B    Am
California Christmas, California Christmas

California Christmas is still with us anyway
