A E A
When I was young my mamma told me
E F#m
SHe said child take your time
D A
Don't fall in love too quickly
Bm D
Before you know the one
A E A
She held me round the shoulders
E F#m
In a voice so soft and kind
D A
She said love can make you happy
Bm A
And love can rob you blind
Bm E A Bm E F#m
Here in California fruit hangs heavy on the vines
D A
There's no gold I thought I'd warn you
Bm E A
And the hills turn brown in the summertime
A E A
Now I will learn to love you
E F#m
But I can't say when
D A
This morning we were strangers
Bm D
And tonight we're only friends
A E A
I'll take the time to know you
E F#m
I'll take the time to see
D A
There's nothing I won't show you
Bm A
If you take your time with me
Bm E A Bm E F#m
Here in California fruit hangs heavy on the vines
D A
There's no gold I thought I'd warn you
Bm E A
And the hills turn brown in the summertime
SOLO
A E A
There's a old familiar story
E F#m
An old familiar rhyme
D A
To everything there is a season
Bm D
To every purpose there's a time
A E A
A time to love and come together
E F#m
A time when love longs for air ??
D A
A time for questions we can't answer
Bm A
Though we ask them just the same
Bm E A Bm E F#m
Here in California fruit hangs heavy on the vines
D A
There's no gold I thought I'd warn you
Bm E A
And the hills turn brown in the summertime
