give it away (original) (raw)

Am G Dm Am
getting born in the state of missisipi
papa was a copper
and mama was a hippy

in alabama she would swing a hammer
price you gotta pay when you pick the
panorama

she never knew that there was
anything more than poor

what in the world does your
Company take me for?

Black bandana, sweet louisiana
Robbin' o bank in the state of indiana

she's a runner, rebel and a stunner
oh her merry way sayin'
baby watcha gonna

locking down the barrel of a
hot metal 45
just another way to survive

F G Am Dm

california rest in peace
simultaneous release
california show your teeth
she's my priestess, im your priest

she's a lover, baby and a fighter
should have seen it coming when
it got a little brighter

with a name like dani california
the day was gonna come
when i was gonna won ya

a little older she was
still in another breath
i love my baby to death

california rest in peace
simultaneous release
california show your teeth
she's my priestess, im your priest
Hm Dm Am
who knew the harder side of you
who knew the hardest time to prove
too true to say goodbye to you
too true say say say

pushed the baby, gifted and a mater
one for the now and little for the later

never made it up to minnesota
north dakota man was a gunnin'
for the product

down in the badlands
she was savin the best for last

it only hurts when i laugh
gone too fast

california rest in peace
simultaneous release
california show your teeth
she's my priestess, im your priest
