This also works for CentOS 6.5
Update 1: It looks like I had a cached version of the rpm in a local repo. Here is the RPM that you can use to install the last version that worked for CentOS 6:
Download: google-chrome-stable-27.0.1453.110-202711.x86_64.rpm
Install instructions:
# yum -y install google-chrome-stable-27.0.1453.110-202711.x86_64.rpm
—END OF UPDATE—
Update 2: It looks like you can also install Chromium and get version 28 running
Install Chromium:
sudo su - cd /etc/yum.repos.d wget http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/chromium/6/chromium-el6.repo yum install chromium
Install Pepper Flash:
cd /tmp wget https://raw.github.com/hughesjr/chromium_el_builder/master/chrome_pepperflash_copy.sh chmod +x chrome_pepperflash_copy.sh ./chrome_pepperflash_copy.sh
Install PDF Viewer:
cd /tmp wget https://raw.github.com/hughesjr/chromium_el_builder/master/chrome_libpdf_copy.sh chmod +x chrome_libpdf_copy.sh ./chrome_libpdf_copy.sh
Chromium should now be installed and accessible via your window manager’s menu.
Thanks to stavros on Google+ for the tip.

Update 3: There appears to be a script that lets you run Chrome 28 on CentOS 6

Original post:
The latest version of Google Chrome no longer installs on CentOS 6.4 due to dependency issues:

The solution is to install an older version that is known to work with CentOS 6.4:
