California dreamline.
Bm                         B          A/B    G        Gm
Surfing on the big wave... It's quiet underwater. oooooo
                    D           Bm
As high as high can swing to... Carbonated tide pools.
B    A/B        G
It's quiet underwater.
 
 
                         F#7
Questionable things like:
                              G
1. Dolphins helping people to swim.
                          D
2. Everything peculiar to me.
                               F#7
3. The people living under the sea
 G                Gm                            D
(Alone with their heartbeats, in love with each other).
 
 
D                         Bm
Disillusioned porpoise... playing with the tourists.
B        A/Bm     G            Gm
Drinking beer and coffee...oooooo
           D          Bm
Sand in my tequila... Senza mea scarpe.
B      A/Bm      G                 Gm            D
Me and my friend Pablo... walk the beach... incognito.
 
 
    F#7                                     G
... And don't say that we've got nothing to hide,
                              D
'Cause the law's got a rap on me...
                          F#7
There isn't a gun in Escondido.
          G                           Gm                      D
... But I feel like I'm swimming, and things will work out anyway.
 
 
D                       Bm              B  A/B G  Gm
All the naked ladies... covered up by nothing. oooooo
           D
Californication.
Bm
Spooning in the dry sand.
B                          G     Gm
The sand that gets in everything
                           D
While men are pum-pum-ping iron.
Bm
Pom-pom-pom-pom-ping Aarron.
A/Bm               G     Gm
Sitting on the big fault.
