Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

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]
Em D C B
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
G B Em C B7
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
Em D C D B
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
Em D C D B7
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

(Repeat once - beat kicks in on second time, so play more than once here.
Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.)

[Verse]
Em D C D B
Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
G B Em C B7
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
Em D C
You know the preacher liked the cold
D B
He knows I'm gonna stay
Em D C D B
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

[Bridge]
Em (keep playing)
(Ah, I'd be safe and I'd be safe and warm)

Em G B Em C B7 B7
(I'd be safe and warm)

Em D C D B
(Ah)

Em D C D B7

[Chorus]
(play chords once again)
Em D C B
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
G B Em C B7
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
Em D C D B
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
Em D C D B7
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

[Outro]
Em D C B
All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown) and the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
G B Em C B7
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk) on a winter's day (on a winter's day)

(beat kicks in again - full chords)

Em D C D B7
If I didn't tell her (if I didn't tell her), I could leave today
Em D C
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
D Em D C D
On such a winter's day (on such a winter's day)
D Em D C D
On such a winter's day (on such a winter's day)
B7
On such a winter's day

Em (let ring out until the end)

Think this is mostly correct!
