F#m F#m Bm6* (quick end of bar each time)
My time coming, anyday, don't worry about me, no

Been so long I felt this way, I'm in no hurry, no
F#m F#m Bm6*
Rainbows and down that highway where ocean breezes blow

My time coming, voices saying they tell me where to go.

Don't worry about me, nah nah, don't worry about me, no

And I'm in no hurry, nah, nah nah, I know where to go.
Chorus (7/8 time)
G (5 beats) C (2 bts) G (3bts) F(2bts) C(2bts)
California, preaching on the burning shore
G C G F C
California, I'll be knocking on the golden door
G C G F
Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light
C G C G F C
Rising up to paradise, I know I'm gonna shine.
My time coming, any day, don't worry about me, no
It's gonna be just like they say, them voices tell me so
Seems so long I felt this way and time sure passin' slow
Still I know I lead the way, they tell me where I go.
Don't worry about me, no no no, don't worry about me, no
and I'm in no hurry, no no no, I know where to go.
California, a prophet on the burning shore
California, I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise, I know I'm gonna shine.
G C G F C
You've all been asleep, you would not believe me
G C G F C
Them voices tellin' me, you will soon receive me
G C G
Standin' on the beach, the sea will part before me
G F C
(Fire wheel burning in the air!)
G C G
You will follow me and we will ride to glory,
G F C
(way up, the middle of the air!)
Dm E7
And I'll call down thunder and speak the same
Dm E7
And my work fills the sky with flame
Dm E7
And might and glory gonna be my name
Dm F A
And men gonna light my way.
