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

Repeat intro

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     Am F Am F
sells Californication          

Chorus:

Am                        
Pay your surgeon very well
    F                      
To break the spell of aging
Am                              
Celebrity skin is this your chin
   F                       Am
Or is that war your waging   
Am            F   Am               F   
First born unicorn  Hard core soft porn
 C           G    Dm    Am  C           G    Dm    
Dream of Californication   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     Am F Am F
It’s Californication          

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

Am                                      F                
Born and raised by those who praise Control of population
Am                             F                     
everybody’s been there  and  I don’t mean on vacation
Am            F   Am               F   
First born unicorn  Hard core soft porn

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     Am F Am F
From Californication          
Bridge:
Am F Am Am x4

Am                        
Pay your surgeon very well
    F                      
To break the spell of aging
Am                                    
Sicker than the rest  There is no test
    F                         Am
But this is what you’re craving 
Am            F   Am               F   
First born unicorn  Hard core soft porn
 C           G    Dm    Am  C           G    Dm       
Dream of Californication   Dream of Californication x2
Bridge:
Am F Am Am x4

Ending:
Am Am Am F x4
