[Intro]
N.C.
[Verse 1]
Am G D/F# DMelon-rising California sun
Am G D/F# DDrifting in a day not yet begun
Am G D/F# DSix o'clock and peaceful and serene
Dm G DFloating in a Technicolor scene
[Verse 2]
F EmSomething nearly peaceful in the sound
F EmRising from the San Andreas ground
D# A#Over ground it starts to feel strange
D# DmUnderground, it starts to rearrange
[Pre-Chorus]
F DYou'd better get up
G E/G# AmAnd run for a doorway
[Chorus]
AmNo time for thinking
AmYour life is at stake
AmEveryone's doing the California Shake
F Dm AmCalifornia Shake
[Verse 3]
G D/F# DNon-believing, everybody waits
Am G D/F# DShifting on the continental plates
Am G D/F# DThunder far below the ocean floor
Am G D/F# DDamned impartial sub-terrestrial war
[Verse 4]
F EmWond'ring if you're going to survive
F EmGod, it feels like eight point four or five
D# A#Fifteen seconds holding your breath
D# DmLiving through a microscopic death
[Pre-Chorus]
F DYou'd better hold on
G E AmThe worst isn't over
[Chorus]
AmNo time for thinking
AmYour life is at stake
AmEveryone's doing the California Shake
F DmCalifornia Shake
[Outro]
