It Never Rains In Southern California hails from the album of the same name and reached #2 in Canada and #5 in the US when it was released back in 1972. Albert Hammond never had another song break into the top 10, 20 or 30 since.

This one I play with a capo 2nd fret in standard tuning while playing a root down up root up down up and repeat rhythm pattern. Some lead work is required in this one and the chords required are a G, Am, D, D7 and an Em.
