A#m                    G#
Getting born in the state of Mississippi,
D#m                              A#m
Her Poppa was a copper and her Momma was a hippy,
A#m           G#
In Alabama she will swing a hammer,
D#m                     A#m
Price you got to pay when you break the panorama,
A#m          G#                  D#m                 A#m
She never knew that there was anything more than all,
A#m               G#           D#m           A#m
Well in the war your comfort to take me for,

A#m                    G#
Black bandanna, sweet Louisiana,
D#m                              A#m
Robbing on a bank in the state of Indiana,
A#m                    G#
Sheʼs a runner, Rebel and a stunner,
D#m                              A#m
Come to Mirawais saying "Baby watcha gona?",
A#m          G#                  D#m      A#m
Looking down the barrell of a hot bell 45,
A#m          G#         D#m A#m
Just another way to survive

Chorus:
	     F#        C#       D#m
	California, Rest In Peace,
	     F#     C#     D#m
	Simultaneous release,
	     F#       C#         D#m
	California, show your teeth,
	            F#         C#          D#m
	Sheʼs my priestess, Iʼm your priest,
	D#m
	Yeah, yeah

A#m                    G#
Sheʼs a lover, Baby and a fighter,
D#m                              A#m
Shoulda seen it coming when I got a little brighter,
A#m                    G#
With a name like "Dani California",
D#m                              A#m
Day was gona come when I was gona mourn ya,
A#m          G#                  D#m               A#m
A little low, that she was stealing another bread,
A#m               G#   D#m A#m
I love my baby to death

Chorus:
	     F#        C#       D#m

	California, show your teeth,
	            F#         C#          D#m

 Cm             G#     G
Who knew the hardest side of you?
 Cm             G#     G
Who knew the hardest time to prove?
 Cm          G#      G
Too true to say goodbye to you
 Cm
Too true to say, say, say

A#m                    G#
Pushed the fader, Gifted animator,
D#m                              A#m
One for the now, And eleven for the later,
A#m                    G#
Never made it up to Minnesota,
D#m                              A#m
Off the coated man, Was gona fill the quota,
A#m          G#                  D#m                 A#m
Down in the Badlands she was saving the best for last,
A#m               G#       D#m A#m
It only hurts when I laugh,
         G#
Gone to fade
