Red Hot Chili Peppers – Dani California (Ukulele)

Am                     G
   Getting born in the state of Mississippi,

Dm                         Am
Pappa was a copper and her Momma was a hippy,

Am            G
   In Alabama she will swing a hammer,

Dm                            Am
Price you got to 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, what does your company take me for?

Am              G
Black bandana, sweet Louisiana,

Dm                       Am
Robbing on a bank in the state of Indiana,

Am                 G
   She's a runner, rebel and a stunner,

Dm                       Am
On her merry way saying "Baby watcha gonna?",

Am                  G           Dm        Am
   Looking down the barrel of a hot metal 45,

Am              G         Dm
   Just another way to survive

     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,

Dm
Yeah, yeah

Am                G
   She's a lover, baby and a fighter,

   Dm                             Am
Sh-shoulda seen it coming when it got a little brighter,

Am                    G
   With a name like "Dani California",

Dm                      Am
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya,

Am          G               Dm         Am
   A little loaded, she was stealing another breath,

Am           G         Dm
   I love my baby to death

    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,

Dm
Yeah, yeah

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     G         D
   Too true, too sad, sad, sad

Am                    G
   Pushed the fader, gifted animator,

Dm                     Am
One for the now, and eleven for the later,

Am               G
   Never made it up to Minnesota,

Dm                      Am
North Dakota man, was a-gunnin' for the quota,

Am             G                Dm          Am
   Down in the Badlands she was saving the best for last,

Am         G             Dm
   It only hurts when I laugh,

         G
Gone too fast

    F        C       Dm
California, Rest In Peace,

 G   F    C     Dm
Simultaneous release,

 G  F       C         Dm
California, show your teeth,
