Intro: E E11
E Am7 G6 F6
All the leaves are ground
G6 E E11 E
and the sky is gray
Am7 G6 F6
I went for a walk
E E11 E
on a winter's day.
Am7 G6 F6
I be safe and worm
G6 E E11 E
if I was in L.A.
Am7 G6 F6
California Dreaming...
E E11 E
on such a winter's day
Am7 G6 F6
Step in to a church
G6 E E11 E
I past a long the way
Am7 G6 F6
then I droped down on my knees
E E11 E
and I begin to pray
Am7 G6 F6
You know the preacher likes the cold
G6 E E11 E
he knows I'm gonna stay
(**Chorus**)
