Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California: chords

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
