If you have any comments, suggestions or sompliments, I'd like to hear it, because I'm just a beginning guitar player and don't mind to learn from my faults, well, here comes the song:
Californication
Main Riff

E-----------------------------1---------------------------------|
Repeat 2x
--->drums enter
Play riff during all couplets
Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californi cation
Main riff / Chords [Am F] 2x
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 Californi cation
Chords 2x
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Ce lebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging
Chorus:
First born uni corn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Cali forni cation
Dream of Cali forni cation
2x Main Riff / Chords
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 Californi cation
2x Main Riff/ Chords
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 Californi cation
2x Chords
Born and raised by those who praise
Con trol of population everybody's been here and
I don't mean on vacation
Chorus
Dream of Californication 4x

Riff 2x
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 Californi cation
Chords 2x
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
Dream of Californication 4x
