Intro: Am | F  } 4 times

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

Instrumental: Am | F  } 2 times

        Am
It’s the edge of the world
           F
And all of western civilization.
    Am
The sun may rise in the east;
            F
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
      F
   To break the spell of aging.
     Am
   Celebrity skin, is this your chin
      F
   Or is that war you’re waging?

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

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

Instrumental: Am | F  } 2 times

Am
Space may be the final frontier,
         F
But it’s made in a Hollywood basement.
    Am
And Cobain, can you hear the spheres
        F
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
       F
   Control of population.
   Am
   Everybody’s been there and
     F
   I don’t mean on vacation.

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

     Dream of Californication.

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

   Pay your surgeon very well

   Am
   Sicker than the rest, there is no test,
       F
   But this is what you’re craving.

Chorus:
