                    Am         G           F       G      Esus4                 E     F
 All the leaves are brown                  and the sky is gray
                     ( All the leaves are brown )             (and the skies are grey ey )

I've been for a walk                        on a winter's day
                 ( I've been for a wa-a-a-alk )               ( On a winter's day )
                  Am          G       F             G      Esus4               E
I'd be safe and warm                           if I was in L.A.
                   ( I'll be safe and warm )                    ( If I was in L.A. )
          Am              G      F             G             Esus4
California dreamin'                        on such a winter's da-a-a-a-a-ay
                    ( California dreamin )
[Verse 2]
                   Am  G  F          G        Esus4  E
Stopped in to a church     I passed along the way
 F                    C    E Am       F       Esus4  E
Well I got down on my knees   and I pretend to pray
  E                               Am  G  F
You know the preacher liked the cold
              G      Esus4  E
He knows I'm gonna stay
 Am    G   F            G               Esus4  E
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
