Am G Getting born in the state of Mississippi, Dm Am Her Poppa was a copper and her Momma was a hippie Am G In Alabama she would swing a hammer, Dm Am Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama Am G Dm Am She never knew that there was anything more than poor, Am G Dm Am What in the world does your company take me for? Black bandana, sweet Louisiana Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana She's a runner, rebel and a stunner On her merry way sayin', "Baby, what you gonna—?" Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal .45 Just another way to survive Chorus: F C Dm California, Rest In Peace, G F C Dm Simultaneous release, G F C Dm California, show your teeth, G F C Dm She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah She's a lover, baby and a fighter Shoulda seen her comin' when it got a little brighter With a name like Dani California Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya A little loaded, she was stealin' another breath I love my baby to death Chorus Bm G D F# Who knew the other side of you? Bm G D F# Who knew what others died to prove? Bm G D F# Too true to say goodbye to you Bm Too true, too sad, sad, sad Push the fader, gifted animator One for the now and eleven for the later Never made it up to Minnesota North Dakota man was a gunnin' for the quota Down in the Badlands, she was savin' the best for last It only hurts when I laugh Gone too fast Chorus - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  C  D  Dm  F  F#  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
