[Am][G][Dm][Am]
[Am][G][Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Getting born in the stat[G]e of Mississippi
[Dm]Papa was a copper,
and her [Am]mama was a hippy
In Alabama [G]she would swing a hammer
[Dm]Price you got to pay
when you [Am]break the panorama
She never [G]knew that there was
[Dm]anything [Am]more than poor
What in the [G]world does your
[Dm]company [Am]take me for?
Black bandanna, [G]sweet Louisiana
[Dm]Robbing on a bank in the [Am]state of Indiana
She's a runner [G]Rebel, and a stunner
[Dm]On her merry way saying ba[Am]by, watcha gonna?
Looking down the [G]barrel of a
[Dm]hot metal [Am]forty-five
Just another [G]way to sur[Dm]vive

[Chorus 1]
Cali[F]fornia rest [C]in [Dm]peace
Si[G]mul[F]ta neous [C]release[Dm]

[Verse 2]
[Am]She's a lover, baby,[G] and a fighter
[Dm]Should've seen it coming
when I [Am]got a little brighter
With a name like [G]Dani California
[Dm]Day was gonna come
when [Am]I was gonna mourn ya
A little [G]loaded,
she was [Dm]stealing an[Am]oth er breath
I love my [G]baby to [Dm]death

[Chorus 2]
Cali[F]fornia rest [C]in [Dm]peace
Si[G]mul[F]ta neous [C]release[Dm]

Yeah, yeah
[Bm]Who knew the other[G] side [D]of you?
[Bm]Who knew that othe[G]rs died [D]to prove?
[Bm]Too true to say [G]good[D]bye to you
[Bm]Too true to say, say, say

[Verse 3]
[Am]Pushed the fader, gift[G]ed animator
[Dm]One for the now, and e[Am]leven for the later
Never made it [G]up to Minnesota
[Dm]North Dakota man
Wasn't [Am]gunnin' for the quota
Down in the [G]Badlands
she was [Dm]saving the [Am]best for last
It only [G]hurts when I [Dm]laugh
Gone too [E]fast
