Okay, so this song is by Sia on the new "San Andreas" soundtrack.
I thought I'd get in and write the chords before anyone else!
Of course, it's on the piano, so it won't sound as the record - though I've altered it to make it
sound somewhat more similar.
It sounds much better if you play barre chords for the introduction (as the record
begins an octave higher)
Em D C D B
Em D C D B B7
(regular chords here - play once)
[Chorus]
All the leaves are bEmrown D  Cand the sky is gBray
I've been for a wGalk B   Emon a wiCnter's B7day
I'd be safe and waEmrm DiCf I waDs in LB.A.
California dEmreamiDn' on Csuch a Dwinter's B7day
(Repeat once - beat kicks in on second time, so play more than once here.
Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.)
[Verse]
Stopped in to a chuEmrch D   CI passed aDlong the waBy
Well I got down on my Gknees B   Emand I prCetend to B7pray
You know the preacher liked the coEmldD  C  
He knows I'm gDonna stayB  
California EmdreamiDn' oCn suDch a winter's daBy
[Bridge]
Em(keep playing)
(Ah, I'd be safe and I'd be safe and warm)
(I'Emd be safe and wGarmB)Em  C  B7  B7  
Em(Ah)D  C  D  B  
Em D C D B7
[Chorus]
(play chords once again)
All the leaves are bEmrown D  Cand the sky is gBray
I've been for a wGalk B   Emon a wiCnter's B7day
I'd be safe and waEmrm DiCf I waDs in LB.A.
California dEmreamiDn' on Csuch a Dwinter's B7day
[Outro]
All the leaves are bEmrown D(aCll the leaves are brown) and the sky is gray B(and the sky is gray)
I've been for a wGalk B(EmI've been for a walk) on a wintCer's dB7ay (on a winter's day)
(beat kicks in again - full chords)
If I didn't tell Emher D(if I Cdidn't tell her), I Dcould leavB7e today
California dEmreamDin' C(California dreamin')
On sDuch a wintEmer's DdaCy (Don such a winter's day)
On sDuch a wintEmer's DdaCy (Don such a winter's day)
On such a wiB7nter's day
Em(let ring out until the end)
Think this is mostly correct!
