California Dreamin'
The Mamas & the Papas 

(Capo 4th fret)
    A2 flourish  E7/4
                                        Am  G F          G       E7sus4  E7  F
          All the leaves are brown  and the sky is gray
          C              E7    Am           F           E7sus4   E7
          I've been for a walk on a winter's day
                                   Am  G F    G            E7sus4  E7
          I'd be safe and warm    if I was in L.A.
                            Am    G F   G                       E7sus4
          California dreamin'  on such a winter's day

          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
                               *Solo*   (verse *)

          All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
          I've been for a walk on a winter's day
          If I didn't tell her I could leave today
                            Am    G F    G
          California dreamin'  on such a winter's day
                            Am    G F    G
          California dreamin'  on such a winter's day
                            Am    G F    G                       F       Am
          California dreamin'  on such a winter's day...
