Intro: Bmadd9 | Gadd9  } 4 times

Bmadd9
Psychic spies from China
       Gadd9
Try to steal your mind’s elation,
    Bmadd9
And little girls from Sweden
         Gadd9
Dream of silver screen quotations.
    D                 A
And if you want these kind of dreams
     G        Em
It’s Californication.

Instrumental: Bmadd9 | Gadd9  } 2 times

        Bmadd9
It’s the edge of the world
           Gadd9
And all of western civilization.
    Bmadd9
The sun may rise in the east;
            Gadd9
At least it settles in the final location.
     D               A
It’s understood that Hollywood
      G        Em
Sells Californication.

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

Chorus:
  Bm                Gmaj
     First born unicorn.
  Bm                 Gmaj
     Hard core soft porn.
     D            A7   Em      Bm
     Dream of Californication.
     D            A7   Em
     Dream of Californication.

Bmadd9
Marry me girl, be my fairy to the world,
      Gadd9
Be my very own constellation,
  Bmadd9
A teenage bride with a baby inside
        Gadd9
Getting high on information.
    D                    A
And buy me a star on the boulevard.
     G        Em
It’s Californication.

Instrumental: Bmadd9 | Gadd9  } 2 times

Bmadd9
Space may be the final frontier,
         Gadd9
But it’s made in a Hollywood basement.
    Bmadd9
And Cobain, can you hear the spheres
        Gadd9
Singing songs off station to station?
    D             A
And Alderon’s not far away;
     G        Em
It’s Californication.

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

Chorus:
  Bm                Gmaj
     First born unicorn.

  Bmadd9
Destruction leads to a very rough road,
       Gadd9
But it also breeds creation.
    Bmadd9
And earthquakes are, to a girl’s guitar,
        Gadd9
They’re just another good vibration.
    D                    A
And tidal waves couldn’t save the world
     G        Em
From Californication.

   Bm
   Pay your surgeon very well
      Gmaj

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