[Verse 1]

C#m

Psychic spies from China

       A

Try to steal your mind's elation

C#m

Little girls from Sweden

         A

Dream of silver screen quotations

    E                 B

And if you want these kind of dreams

     A        F#m

It's Californication

 

 

[Interlude]

| C#m    | A     | C#m    | A     |

 

 

[Verse 2]

        C#m

It's the edge of the world

           A

And all of western civilization

    C#m

The sun may rise in the East

            A

At least it settled in a final location

     E               B

It's understood that Hollywood

      A        F#m

sells Californication

 

 

[Interlude]

| C#m    | Amaj7 | C#m    | Amaj7 |

 

 

[Pre-Chorus 1]

C#m

Pay your surgeon very well

   Amaj7

To break the spell of aging

  C#m

Celebrity skin, is this your chin?

   Amaj7

Or is that war you're waging?

C#m                Amaj7

   First born unicorn

C#m                Amaj7

   Hardcore soft porn

 

 

[Chorus]

E            B     F#m    C#m

Dream of Californication

E            B    F#m

[Verse 3]

C#m

Marry me girl, be my fairy to the world

      A

Be my very own constellation

  C#m

A teenage bride with a baby inside

        A

Getting high on information

    E                    B

And buy me a star on the boulevard

     A        F#m

It's Californication

 

 

[Interlude]

| C#m    | A     | C#m    | A     |

 

 

[Verse 4]

C#m

Space may be the final frontier

         A

But it's made in a Hollywood basement

    C#m

And Cobain can you hear the spheres

        A

Singing songs off station to station?

    E              B

And Alderaan's not far away

     A        F#m

It's Californication

 

 

[Interlude]

| C#m    | Amaj7 | C#m    | Amaj7 |

  Ooooo - ooooh   Oooo -  ooooh

 

[Pre-Chorus 2]

C#m

Born and raised by those who praise

   Amaj7

Control of population

C#m

Everybody's been there and

   Amaj7

I don't mean on vacation

C#m                Amaj7

   First born unicorn

C#m                Amaj7

   Hardcore soft porn

 

 

[Chorus]

[Interlude]

| C#m    | A     | C#m    | A     |

 

 

[Verse 5]

   C#m

Destruction leads to a very rough road

       A

But it also breeds creation

    C#m

And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar

        A

They're just another good vibration

    E                    B

And tidal waves couldn't save the world

     A        F#m

From Californication

 

 

[Interlude]

| C#m    | Amaj7 | C#m    | Amaj7 |

  Ooooo - ooooh   Oooo -  ooooh

 

[Pre-Chorus 3]

C#m

Pay your surgeon very well

   Amaj7

To break the spell of aging

C#m

Sicker than the rest, there is no test

    Amaj7

But this is what you're craving

C#m                Amaj7

   First born unicorn

C#m                Amaj7

   Hardcore soft porn
