California Dreamin Acoustic chords by The Mamas & The Papas

Standard Tuning EADGBe

In the proper key, with the proper chords, all in an easy to read format.

* - note:
when playing the G# chord it might sound nice to also play the G#sus4 chord along with it
[Thats a 466644 btw. I mean to alternate it with the standard G# 466544 a la Paranoid Android]
Cheers!


Verse 1:

          C#m B A    B   G#          A E G#   C#m   A G#
All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey, I've been for a walk  on a winter's day
        C#m B A   B    G#          A E G#  C#m       A  G#
I'd be safe and warm  if I was in L.A, California dreaming  on such a winter's day

Verse 2:

        C#m B A       B   G#    A    E  G#      C#m    A G#
Stopped into a church I passed along the way, oh I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
            C#m B A     B    G#         A E G#  C#m       A G#
The preacher likes the cold  he knows I'm gonna stay California dreaming on such a winter's day
