9 ukulele chords used in "Californication" by Red Hot Chili Peppers: A, Am, Bm, C, D, E, F, Gbm and G
Dm sounds better than D 🙂
Did the swap with D to Dm
added G and Dm so there was more chord movement.
(Am)Psychic spies from (G)China
Try to (F)steal your mind’s e(Dm)lation
Also swapped out Am to F in the chorus:
(C)Dream of (G)Cali(Dm)forni(F)cation
Except on the last repeat of it, I left F as Am.
Nice, it does sound better in Dm, also in the verses when it’s going Am F, it’s nice to pluck 4 4 2 0 on the C (second) string after the Am
love it!!!
Somebody show me the Strumming pattern
Strum pattern?
