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

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

Chorus:
	     G        D       Em

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

	Sheʼs my priestess, Iʼm your priest,
	Em

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

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