Capo IV

Am E7

E7                 Am              G          F
All the leaves are brown   All the leaves are brown
        G      E7                   E
and the sky is grey  And the sky is gray
F               C                E7    Am
I've been for a walk   I've been for a walk
     F        E7                 E
on a winter's day  On a winter's day
                Am             G        F
I'd be safe and warm    I'd be safe and warm
     G        E7                E
if I was in L.A   if I was in L.A.
           Am             G     F
California Dreamin'  California dreaming
   G               E  E7
on such a winter's day
               Am   G F
Stopped into a church
          G        E E7
I passed along the way
        G              Am               G     Am
Well, I got down on my knees - Got down on my knees
                 E           E7      E
And I pretend to pray - I pretend to pray
                                Am              G         F
You know the preacher likes the cold - Preacher likes the cold
             G     E                E7    E
He knows I'm gonna stay - Knows I'm gonna stay
           Am             G       F
California dreaming - California dreaming
   G               Am  E
On such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown   All the leaves are brown

and the sky is grey  And the sky is gray
F               C                E7    Am
I've been for a walk   I've been for a walk

If I didn't tell her  if I didn't tell her

I could leave today  I could leave today

on such a winter's day  California dreaming
   G               Am

About this song

"California Dreamin'" by The Mamas and The Papas features a distinctive opening guitar riff played by John Phillips. The song's lush vocal harmonies and folk-rock sound helped define the sound of the 1960s. The bassline, played by Joe Osborn, provides a steady foundation for the dreamy atmosphere of the song. The use of a 12-string guitar adds a jangly texture to the track.
