Guitar chords with lyrics

INTRO
Am   \ 2x
Am  G /

VERSE 1
Am      G     D/F#  D
Melon-rising California sun
Am      G       D/F#  D
Drifting in a day not yet begun
Am       G       D/F#  D
Six o'clock and peaceful and serene
Am      G      D/F#  D
Floating in a Technicolor scene

BRIDGE
F                Em
Something nearly peaceful in the sound
F              Em
Rising from the San Andreas ground
Eb              Bb
Overground, it starts to feel strange
Eb              Dm
Underground, it starts to rearrange
🎸

PRE-CHORUS
F         D/F#
 You'd better get up

No time for thinking

Your life is at stake

Am  G /

VERSE 2
Am      G     D/F#  D
Nonbelieving, everybody waits
Am       G      D/F#  D
Shifting on the continental plates
Am      G       D/F#  D
Thunder far below the ocean floor
Am        G        D/F#  D
Damned impartial sub-terrestrial war

BRIDGE
F              Em
Wond'ring if you're going to survive
F                   Em
God, it feels like eight point four or five
Eb              Bb
Fifteen seconds holding your breath
Eb              Dm
Living through a microscopic death

PRE-CHORUS
F       D/F#
 You'd better hold on
  G      Eb/G#
The worst isn't over

INTERLUDE
Am   \ 4x
Am  G /

CHORUS

Everyone's doing the California Shake
