Dani California Uke tab by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Am                    G
Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi,
Dm                              Am 
Poppa was a copper and her Momma was a hippy,
Am           G
In Alabama she was swinging 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 does your company take me for?
 Am               G    
Black bandana, sweet Louisiana,
 Dm                        Am 
Robbin' 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      
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal .45,
 Am           G          Dm
Just another way to survive

          Am      G               
She's a lover, Baby and a fighter,
    Dm                         Am
Should've 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 gona mourn ya,
Am        G              Dm              Am
A little loaded, she was stealing another breath,
Am        G       Dm
I love my baby to death

Bridge:

 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            
Too true to sad, sad, sad

Verse 3:
 
   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 gunnin' for the quota,
 Am              G             Dm       Am
Down in the Badlands she was saving the best for last,
 Am
It only hurts when I laugh,
         G
Gone to fast
