California Dreaming by The Mamas and the Papas – Lyrics with Chords
Note: Capo on the 4th Fret
[Verse 1]
Am G F G Esus4 E
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
F C E Am F Esus4 E
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
Am G F G Esus4 E
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
Am G F G Esus4 E
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
[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
[Instrumental]
Am G F G Esus4 E
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
F C E Am F Esus4 E
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
Am G F G Esus4 E
If I didn't tell her I could leave today
[Outro]
Am G F G Am
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
Am G F G Am
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
Am G F G Am
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
The last line of the first verse is wrong! The Am doesn’t start till the word dreamin’, so it all out of sync.
