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|

Verse:
Bm (just strum once)
I need some fun vibes and a couple drops of sunshine
[D]Good enough pick and choose the always over sometimes
[A]Pour a little out we like to live a lot
[E]And I make better decisions when I'm hot
[Bm]We're chasing dreams from our seats at the hang out spot
[D]No plan for the night, but we all stay locked
[A]Right in, nice grin, uh uhhh no thunder or lightning
[E]Just the view of the ocean and a sexy ass light skin girl
[Bm]I'm goin back, I'm goin back
[D]And I'm headed for my paradise, my paradise
[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
[D]Out back with my crew and some girls if you need me
[A]So when I say welcome home and you ask what do I mean
no guitar
I mean you visit and you never wanna leave Come find me

Verse:
Bm (just strum once)
So sweet, so sweet Californ-I-a
[D]Where the fruits all fall from my family tree
[A]I need my skateboard a drink and a long stretch of pavement
[E]Pickin up my pace and I'm back to the basics
[Bm]Yeah, travel well on my element
[D]Gone for a second and every time I leave [A]you know I'm always second guessing it
Thinking ill regret it but y[E]ou know I'm comin back in the end and I've accepted it
[Bm]I'm feeling feeling all feeling all [D]feeling all feeling all golden
We're skatin on the [A]sidewalk
And you can hear us all hear us all [E]hear us all rollin
