************************************
Intro/Verse/Chorus: Bm, D, A, E
e|-2--5--5--7-| B|-3--7--5--9-| G|-4--7--6--9-| D|-4--7--7--9-| A|-2--5--7--7-| E|-------5----|

e|-2--2--0--0-| B|-3--3--2--0-| G|-4--2--2--1-| D|-4--0--2--2-| A|-2-----0--2-| E|----------0-|
In terms of strumming pattern, the easiest way is to strum each chord downward
four times with a palm slap between each downward stroke, e.g. for the first
chord Bm, it would be:
E|-2-x-2-x-2-x-2-x| B|-3-x-3-x-3-x-3-x| G|-4-x-4-x-4-x-4-x| D|-4-x-4-x-4-x-4-x| A|-2-x-2-x-2-x-2-x| E|---x-------x---x|

[E]Just the view of the ocean and a sexy ass light skin girl
[Bm]I'm goin back, I'm goin back

[A]Where I can sit and right songs, [E]eat a little food and we can share our lives
[Bm]California got me thinking I should really take it easy
