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

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

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

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

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