THE TIDE POOLS OF CALIFORNIA
capo @ 5 in C. 4/6 time

When you’re born in California
There are things you take for granted
The sunshine and the desert and
The forests, and bears and the beach

In the tide pools of California
In the memories of one little boy
In the tide pools of California
Live the memories that Time can’t destroy

In 1950 I was seven years old
We lived in Palmdale
Going to the beach was like
Going to Mars or Venus
Then, we moved to San Luis Obispo
Which is inland of Morrow Bay
And Avila and Pismo Beach
I wasn’t into splashing in the waves and
Running back and forth in the sand
I’d get lost in the rocks
The ebb and flow of the tide
The little crabs and the sea anemones

In the tide pools of California
In the memories of one little boy
In the tide pools of California
Live the memories that Time can’t destroy
