Most of you must have realised that this is nuthin but Am and F...i just fugred this after a whole nigts dedicated work and a whole lot of riffling through my chord chart for the right chords --- and i found it - YAY! hope ppl appreciate the hard work i put in -- and so as you guys dont raise those fingers and aim for my eyes - tis is completely original werk - sure i got the lyrics from <<<www.lyricsofsongs.com>>> but the rest is 100% friggen original...i play this song rhythm - and switch to lead in between the verses --- i've explained it below --- yeah sure it sounds a bir awkward - but so wat its hard to concentrate on the lead part while singin...---i hope u like it!!!

this means that play the lead part here...as in fig 1.0=>>> <#>

<#> Am F [x2]

Am F
Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
Am F
And little girls from Sweden dream of silver screen quotations
C Am F Am
And if you want these kind of dreams, it's Californication...

<#> Am F [x2]

Am F
It's the edge of the world and all of western civilization
Am F
The sun may rise in the east, at least it's settled in a final location
C Am F Am
It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication...

<#> Am F [x2]

Am F
Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Am F
Celebrity skin, is this your chin, or is that war you're waging?
Am F
First born unicorn
Am F
Hardcore soft ****
C F Am
Dream of Californication
C F Am
Dream of Californication

<#> Am F [x2]
(*NOTE:: there is this part here which i cant figure out -- so i leave it out)

Am F
Marry me girl, be my fairy to the world, be my very own constellation
Am F
A teenage bride with a baby inside getting high on information
C Am F Am
And buy me a star on the boulevard, it's Californication...

<#> Am F [x2]

Am F
Space may be the final frontier, but it's made in a Hollywood basement
Am F
And Cobain can you hear the spheres singing songs off station to station?
C Am F Am
And Alderon's not far away, it's Californication...

<#> Am F [x2]

Am F
Born and raised by those who praise control of population
Am F
And everybody's been there, and I don't mean on vacation
Am F
First born unicorn
Am F
Hardcore soft ****
C F Am
Dream of Californication
C F Am
Dream of Californication[x3]

(Cant figure this part but i think its):



<#> Am F [x2]

(im feelin to lazy to write out all those F's and Am's --- so figure the rest by urself...its the same as all that bull above...)

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...

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 hardcore soft ****
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication...

this is one of my fav songs--- and i been trying to tab it fer ages --- well - actually fer a month...and a i swear by (your name goes here)'s head that this is original work...lol


a 1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4
zippy zippy zip zip and away we go...

fat kax(,the one and only)

 

man excellent .... i needed the intro badly

 

nice and ur welcome.

 

thats the right way to play the intro.many of them substitute the notes on the g-string to the b-string.since the song has a very bassy fell.i think this is how it works.

 

ok..ok...2 reply's --- dont panic...AHHHH shit!!!

 

2 corrections:


C Am F Am
And if you want these kind of dreams, it's Californication...



Replace the Am with a G chord for every similar line at the end of the verses.


C F Am
Dream of Californication


Replace F with G for this line everywhere.


I didn't really see any other mistakes....good job, at least you made the effort of tabbing it instead of relying on others. Your ear can only improve with time and practice.

 

thanx dude --- corrections are alwez welcome --- i thot that wuz a G...damn...

 

i think C g f d does the job better.

 

wats the strum pattern?

 

Hey Iraqita_EP

Listen to the song carefully U'll get it naturally. If this doesn't help, then just try following the drum patterns in the song.
