Am                    G
Getting born in the state of Mississippi,
Dm                              Am
Her Poppa was a copper and her Momma was a hippy,
Am           G
In Alabama she will swing a 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 bandanna, sweet Louisiana,
Dm                        Am
Robbing on a bank in the state of Indiana,
Am                  G
She's a runner, Rebel and a stunner,
Dm                        Am
Condemned everywhere sayin' baby whatcha gonna?,
 Am          G                     Dm       Am
Looking down the barrell of a hot bell 45,
 Am              G          Dm
Just another way to survive

Shoulda seen it coming when I got a little brighter,
Am                      G
With a name like "Dani California",
 Dm                    Am
Day was gona come when I was gona mourn ya,
Am          G         Dm              Am
A little loaded she was stealing another bread,

Bridge:

 Bm             G     F#

 Bm          G      F#
TOO TRUE TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOU

Verse 3:

   Am               G
First to fade her, gifted animator,

One for the now, And eleven for the later,

Never made it up to Minnesota,

North Dakota man was a comin' for the quota,
 Am              G             Dm       Am

Gone too fast
