Intro: Em | C  } 4 times

Em
Psychic spies from China
       C
Try to steal your mind’s elation,
    Em
And 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.

Instrumental: Em | C  } 2 times

        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 settles in the final location.
     G               D
It’s understood that Hollywood
      C        Am
Sells Californication.

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

Chorus:
  Em                C
     First born unicorn.
  Em                 C
     Hard core soft porn.
     G            D7   Am      Em
     Dream of Californication.
     G            D7   Am
     Dream of Californication.

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.

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 Alderon’s not far away;
     C        Am
It’s Californication.

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

Chorus:
  Em                C
     First born unicorn.
  Em                 C
     Hard core soft porn.
     G            D7   Am      Em
     Dream of Californication.
     G            D7   Am
     Dream of Californication.
     G            D7   Am      Em
     Dream of Californication.
     G            D7   Am
     Dream of Californication.

  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.

   Em
   Pay your surgeon very well

   To break the spell of aging.
   Em
   Sicker than the rest, there is no test,
       C
   But this is what you’re craving.

Chorus:
