California Dreamin

Em   D    C    D    B

(regular chords here - play once)

[Chorus]
                    Em  D  C               B
All the leaves are brown   and the sky is gray
                 G  B  Em         C     B7
I've been for a walk       on a winter's day
                  Em  D  C     D     B
I'd be safe and warm    if I was in L.A.
            Em   D     C     D         B7
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]
                   Em  D  C          D          B
Stopped in to a church     I passed along the way
                      G    B Em       C       B7
Well I got down on my knees   and I pretend to pray
                                  Em  D  C
You know the preacher liked the cold
              D        B
He knows I'm gonna stay
           Em    D   C   D               B
California dreamin' on such a winter's day


[Bridge]
  Em (keep playing)
(Ah,  I'd be safe and I'd be safe and warm)

   Em             G  B  Em  C B7 B7
(I'd be safe and warm)

Em  D  C  D  B
(Ah)

Em  D  C  D  B7



[Chorus]
(play chords once again)
                    Em  D  C               B
All the leaves are brown   and the sky is gray
                 G  B  Em         C     B7
I've been for a walk       on a winter's day
                  Em  D  C     D     B
I'd be safe and warm    if I was in L.A.
            Em   D     C     D         B7
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

                    Em  D  C                                           B
All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown) and the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
                 G  B  Em                             C     B7
I've been for a walk  (I've been for a walk) on a winter's day (on a winter's day)

                Em   D    C                    D         B7
If I didn't tell her (if I didn't tell her), I could leave today
            Em  D    C
California dreamin'  (California dreamin')
    D         Em  D  C  D
On such a winter's day (on such a winter's day)

On such a winter's day (on such a winter's day)
            B7
On such a winter's day
