Intro: Amadd9 | Fadd9  } 4 times

Amadd9
Psychic spies from China
       Fadd9
Try to steal your mind’s elation,
    Amadd9
And little girls from Sweden
         Fadd9
Dream of silver screen quotations.
    C                 G
And if you want these kind of dreams
     F        Dm
It’s Californication.

Instrumental: Amadd9 | Fadd9  } 2 times

        Amadd9
It’s the edge of the world
           Fadd9
And all of western civilization.
    Amadd9
The sun may rise in the east;
            Fadd9
At least it settles in the final location.
     C               G
It’s understood that Hollywood
      F        Dm
Sells Californication.

   Am
   Pay your surgeon very well
      Fmaj
   To break the spell of aging.
     Am
   Celebrity skin, is this your chin
      Fmaj
   Or is that war you’re waging?

Chorus:
  Am                Fmaj
     First born unicorn.
  Am                 Fmaj
     Hard core soft porn.
     C            G7   Dm      Am
     Dream of Californication.
     C            G7   Dm
     Dream of Californication.

Amadd9
Marry me girl, be my fairy to the world,
      Fadd9
Be my very own constellation,
  Amadd9
A teenage bride with a baby inside
        Fadd9
Getting high on information.
    C                    G
And buy me a star on the boulevard.
     F        Dm
It’s Californication.

Instrumental: Amadd9 | Fadd9  } 2 times

Amadd9
Space may be the final frontier,
         Fadd9
But it’s made in a Hollywood basement.
    Amadd9
And Cobain, can you hear the spheres
        Fadd9
Singing songs off station to station?
    C             G
And Alderon’s not far away;
     F        Dm
It’s Californication.

   Am
   Born and raised by those who praise
       Fmaj
   Control of population.
   Am
   Everybody’s been there and
     Fmaj
   I don’t mean on vacation.

Chorus:
  Am                Fmaj
     First born unicorn.
  Am                 Fmaj
     Hard core soft porn.

  Amadd9
Destruction leads to a very rough road,
       Fadd9
But it also breeds creation.
    Amadd9
And earthquakes are, to a girl’s guitar,
        Fadd9
They’re just another good vibration.
    C                    G
And tidal waves couldn’t save the world
     F        Dm
From Californication.

   Am
   Pay your surgeon very well
      Fmaj
   To break the spell of aging.
   Am
   Sicker than the rest, there is no test,
       Fmaj
   But this is what you’re craving.

Chorus:
