(regular chords here - play once)
[Chorus]
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I ve been for a walk on a winter s day
I d be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin on such a winter s day
(Repeat once - beat kicks in on second time, so play more than once here.
Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.)
[Verse]
Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher liked the cold
He knows I m gonna stay
California dreamin on such a winter s day
[Bridge]
Em (keep playing)
(Ah, I d be safe and I d be safe and warm)
(I d be safe and warm)
(Ah)
[Chorus]
(play chords once again)
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I ve been for a walk on a winter s day
I d be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin on such a winter s day
[Outro]
All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown) and the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I ve been for a walk (I ve been for a walk) on a winter s day (on a winter s day)
(beat kicks in again - full chords)
If I didn t tell her (if I didn t tell her), I could leave today
California dreamin (California dreamin )
On such a winter s day (on such a winter s day)
On such a winter s day (on such a winter s day)
On such a winter s day
