[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Em

Psychic spies from China

       C

Try to steal your mind's elation

Em

Little girls from Sweden

         C

Dream of silver screen quotations

    G                 D

And if you want these kind of dreams

     C        Am

It's Californication

 

 

[Interlude]

| Em    | C     | Em    | C     |

 

 

[Verse 2]

        Em

It's the edge of the world

           C

And all of western civilization

    Em

The sun may rise in the East

            C

At least it settled in a final location

     G               D

It's understood that Hollywood

      C        Am

sells Californication

 

 

[Interlude]

| Em    | Cmaj7 | Em    | Cmaj7 |

 

 

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Em

Pay your surgeon very well

   Cmaj7

To break the spell of aging

  Em

Celebrity skin, is this your chin?

   Cmaj7

Or is that war you're waging?

Em                Cmaj7

   First born unicorn

Em                Cmaj7

   Hardcore soft porn

 

 

[Chorus]

G            D     Am    Em

Dream of Californication

G            D    Am

Dream of Californication

G            D     Am    Em

Dream of Californication

[Verse 3]

Em

Marry me girl, be my fairy to the world

      C

Be my very own constellation

  Em

A teenage bride with a baby inside

        C

Getting high on information

    G                    D

And buy me a star on the boulevard

     C        Am

It's Californication

 

 

[Interlude]

| Em    | C     | Em    | C     |

 

 

[Verse 4]

Em

Space may be the final frontier

         C

But it's made in a Hollywood basement

    Em

And Cobain can you hear the spheres

        C

Singing songs off station to station?

    G              D

And Alderaan's not far away

     C        Am

It's Californication

 

 

[Interlude]

| Em    | Cmaj7 | Em    | Cmaj7 |

  Ooooo - ooooh   Oooo -  ooooh

 

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Em

Born and raised by those who praise

   Cmaj7

Control of population

Em

Everybody's been there and

   Cmaj7

I don't mean on vacation

Em                Cmaj7

   First born unicorn

Em                Cmaj7

   Hardcore soft porn

 

 

[Chorus]

G            D     Am    Em

Dream of Californication

G            D    Am

Dream of Californication

G            D     Am    Em

Dream of Californication

G            D    Am

Dream of Californication

[Interlude]

| Em    | C     | Em    | C     |

 

 

[Verse 5]

   Em

Destruction leads to a very rough road

       C

But it also breeds creation

    Em

And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar

        C

They're just another good vibration

    G                    D

And tidal waves couldn't save the world

     C        Am

From Californication

 

 

[Interlude]

| Em    | Cmaj7 | Em    | Cmaj7 |

  Ooooo - ooooh   Oooo -  ooooh

 

[Pre-Chorus 3]

Em

Pay your surgeon very well

   Cmaj7

To break the spell of aging

Em

Sicker than the rest, there is no test

    Cmaj7

But this is what you're craving

Em                Cmaj7

   First born unicorn

Em                Cmaj7

   Hardcore soft porn

 

 

[Chorus]

G            D     Am    Em

Dream of Californication

G            D    Am

Dream of Californication

G            D     Am    Em

Dream of Californication

G            D    Am

Dream of Californication
