Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers Since I found both of the other chord charts wrong (ver 1 was just one chord wrong though, and the other one in another key) I decided to publish how I play it. This is an excelent way to play it acoustic! Tuning: EADGBe (Standard) F/C looks like this: X33210 - this chord is only used in the prechorus and you could play a normal F-chord instead. You can apply the picking pattern that they use in the real song on the verses if you want, I'm gonna post them at the bottom so you can use them handily. Verses: (All the verses have these chords) Am Psychic spies from China F Try to steal your mind's elation Am Little girls from Sweden¨ F Dream of silver screen quotations C G And if you want these kind of dreams F Dm It's Californication It's the edge of the world And all of western civilization The sun may rise in the East At least it settles in the final location It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication [Prechorus] - (All pre-choruses have these chords) Am Pay your surgeon very well F/C (You can just play a normal F-chord) To break the spell of aging Am Celebrity skin is this your chin F/C Or is that war your waging [Chorus:] - (And all choruses have these chords) Am F/C First born unicorn Am F/C Hard core soft porn C G Dm Am Dream of Californication C G Dm Dream of Californication [Verse] Marry me girl be my fairy to the world Be my very own constellation A teenage bride with a baby inside Getting high on information And buy me a star on the boulevard It's Californication [Verse] Space may be the final frontier But it's made in a Hollywood basement Cobain can you hear the spheres Singing songs off station to station And Alderon's not far away It's Californication [Pre-chorus] Born and raised by those who praise Control of population everybody's been there and I don't mean on vacation [Chorus] First born unicorn Hard core soft porn Dream of Californication Dream of Californication [Verse} Destruction leads to a very rough road But it also breeds creation And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar They're just another good vibration And tidal waves couldn't save the world From Californication [Pre-Chorus] Pay your surgeon very well To break the spell of aging Sicker than the rest There is no test But this is what you're craving [Chorus] First born unicorn Hard core soft porn Dream of Californication Dream of Californication Picking patterns (During verses): E---------------------------------------------| \ B-----0-1-------------------------------------| \ G-------------------------------0-2-----------| \ D---2-------(2)-(0h2p0)---------------(0)-----| \ A-0---------------------(3)---3-----------(3)-| \ E---------------------------1-----------------| \ www.TAB6.com
