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

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

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

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

	     E        B       C#m

 A#m             F#     F
Who knew the hardest side of you?
 A#m             F#     F
Who knew the hardest time to prove?
 A#m          F#      F
Too true to say goodbye to you
 A#m
Too true to say, say, say

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