Katy Perry - California Gurls Chords & Tabs

Standard Tuning: CAPO 5


During the verse, words are only sung during the Am and the G,
C and F are played very quickly at the end of each line.

In the chorus however all the notes are played for an even amount of time.
ps: this can be played along to the original song,
i found that none of the other chords could :)
enjoy :)))

Sippin' gin and juice
Am               G             C F
Layin' underneath the palm trees (Undone)
Am            G          C F
The boys break their necks
Am              G            C F

[CHORUS x2]

( for the rapping part you can just play Am G C F over and over)
[Snoop Dogg - Verse 3]
Toned, tanned
Fit and ready
Turn it up 'cause it's gettin' heavy
Wild, wild Westcoast
These are the girls I love the most
I mean the ones
I mean like she's the one
Kiss her
Touch her
Squeeze her buns

The girl's a freak
She drives a Jeep
and lives on the beach
I'm okay
I won't play
I love the Bay
Just like I love L.A.
Venice Beach
And Palm Springs
Summertime is everything

Homeboys
Hangin' out
All that ass
Hangin' out
Bikinis, tankinis, martinis
No weenies
Just a king
And a queen-ie
Katy my lady
(Yeah)
You're lookin'here baby
(Uh huh)
I'm all up on you
'Cause you representin' California
(Ohhh yeahh)

[CHORUS x2]

Snoop Dogg:
(Californiaaa, Californiaaa)
California girls man
I wish they all could be
California girls
(Californiaaa)
I really wish
You all could be
California girls
(Californiaaa, girls)
