Verse: 1 
                  B                 A 
Going to a party, meet me out after school 
            B                                           E 
Well, we're going to a place where the jive is really cool 
                                        G#m            A 
And if the band stops playing there's a jukebox in the hall 
                B 
Well, with your blue dress on and your folks all gone 
                          D  A  E 
You'll sure give the guys a ball 

Pre-Chorus 
A 
Get that real guitar boy shakin' 
D                 E 
I'm a California man 
A 
Dance right on till the floors are breakin' 
D                 E 
I'm a California man

Verse: 2 
                                                    A 
Oh my legs start to shiver when I hear you call my name 
         B                                                    E  A  C#m 
Well, my knees keep a-knocking and I'm feeling tired bugs me down 
E                    C#m         E                   A 
And when we take off fine and my jeans are way down low 
       B                                F#m 
When I waggle my hips it's making me feel 
         B                D   E 
Like the king of rock 'n' roll 

Pre-Chorus 
A 
Get that real guitar boy shakin' 
D                 E 
I'm a California man 
A 
Dance right on till the floors are breakin' 
D                 E 
I'm a California man
