Verse:
AmPsychic spies from China
Try to Fsteal your mind’s elation
AmLittle girls from Sweden
Dream of Fsilver screen quotations
And Cif you want these Gkind of dreams
It’s FCaliforniDmcation
Am F Am F
It’s the Amedge of the world
And all of Fwestern civilization
The Amsun may rise in the East
At least it Fsettles in the final location
It’s Cunderstood that GHollywood
Sells FCaliforniDmcation
Am F Am F
Pre-Chorus:
AmPay your surgeon very well
To Fbreak the spell of aging

Verse:
AmMarry me girl be my fairy to the world
Be my Fvery own constellation
A Amteenage bride with a baby inside
Getting Fhigh on information
And Cbuy me a star on the Gboulevard
It’s FCaliforniDmcation
Am F Am F
AmSpace may be the final frontier
But it’s Fmade in a Hollywood basement
AmCobain can you hear the spheres
Singing Fsongs off station to station
And CAlderaan’s not Gfar away
It’s FCaliforniDmcation
Am F Am F

Verse:
DestAmruction leads to a very rough road
But it Falso breeds creation
And Amearthquakes are to a girl’s guitar
They’re Fjust another good vibration
And Ctidal waves couldn’t Gsave the world
From FCaliforniDmcation
Am F Am F

To Fbreak the spell of aging
AmSicker than the rest there is no test
But Fthis is what you’re craving
AmFirst born uniFcorn
AmHard core soft Fporn
