Verse:
You are talk -ing of Heav -en
When you talk of the West.
As a sam -ple of Heav -en
Ca -li -for -nia is best.
I'm get -ting fed up on the rain and snow.
My wea -ry heart is sing -ing "West -ward Ho".
Pull -ing out at e -lev -en
For a rose -cov -ered nest.

Chorus:
Oh! Gold -en Gate, I'm com -in' to "ya"
Gold -en Gate, sing "Hal -le -lu -jah".
I'll live in the sun, Love in the moon
Where ev -'ry month is June.
A lit -tle sun -kissed blonde is smil -in' my way.
Just be -yond The Lin -coln High -way.
Go -ing strong now it won't be long now.
Op -en up that Gold -en Gate.
