Tuning: Standard
----------------------------------(PLEASE READ)----------------------------
This can be tricky but it is great for busking and singing along to,
please play this song before you rate it because you have to play to
get why I made the tab like this.
By the way the 2h3p1 makes it sound like the bass is in the same riff so
it doesn't sound empty.

riff 1 x6
Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
riff 2 x4
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californication
riff 1 x4
It's the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settled in a final location
riff 2 x1
It's understood that Hollywood
Sells Californication
verse x6
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war you're waging
chorus x4
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
riff 1 x4
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
riff 2 x1
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication
riff 1 x4
Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
And, Cobain, can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
riff 2 x1
And Alderaan's not far away
It's Californication
verse x6
Born and raised by those who praise control of population
Well, everybody's been there and I don't mean on vacation
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
chorus x4
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

riff 1 x4
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
riff 2 x1
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
From Californication
verse x6
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
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
chorus x4
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
