	Well, East Coast girls are hip, I really dig those styles they wear

Verse 2:

	The West coast has the sunshine, and the girls all get so tanned
	I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian Island girls
	By a palm tree in the sand
	I been all around this great big world and I've seen
	      all kinds of girls
	But I couldn't wait to get back in the states,
	Back to the cutest girls in the world

	[repeat chorus]

California Girls   by Brian Wilson

In 3Chords, if you chose to use open chords I would click the change
key bar and change the key to D.

If you keep the original key, I suggest clicking on E-bar chords even
though many song books display A-bar chords.
