[Gb] [Abm]
Oh, [Dbm] who needs the brown?
[B]
[A] And [B] the sky is [Ab]
gray.
[A] I've been [E] for a [Ebm]
[Dbm] while
On [A] a [Ab]
[Ab] winter's day
I'd be safe [Dbm] [B] and [A] warm
If [B] I was in [Ab] L.A.
For [Dbm] you [B] greener
[A] [B] On such a [Ab] winter's day
I stopped into [Dbm] a church
[E]
[A] I passed [B] along [Ab] the way
Well, [A] I got down [E] on my knees
[Ebm]
[Dbm] And [Am] I returned [Ab] to pray
You know the preacher [Dbm] likes to preach [B] your lies
[A] He [B] knows I'm gonna [Ab]
stay
That [Dbm] was for you [E] greener
For [A] you [Abm] greener
On such a [Ab] winter's day

[A] I've been [E] [Abm] for a [Dbm] while
[A] On a [Ab] winter's day
If I [Dbm] didn't tell [B] her
[A] [B] I could leave [Abm]
today
[Dbm] California [E]
[A] greener
[B] On such a [Dbm] winter's day [E] California [A] greener

On such a [A] winter's day
