Intro: Dm | Bb  } 4 times

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

Instrumental: Dm | Bb  } 2 times

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

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

Chorus:
  Dm                Bb
     First born unicorn.
  Dm                 Bb
     Hard core soft porn.
     F            C7   Gm      Dm
     Dream of Californication.
     F            C7   Gm
     Dream of Californication.

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

Instrumental: Dm | Bb  } 2 times

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

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

Chorus:
  Dm                Bb
     First born unicorn.
  Dm                 Bb
     Hard core soft porn.

     Dream of Californication.

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

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