anyone have the intro/solo?
 
I know it doesn't help but I saw this youtube vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRZnPjOSwrg

He listed the chords of the song (below). This vid may make it easier for some to figure out the intro bit.


All the leaves are [Em] brown [D] [C]
and the [D] sky is [B7sus4] grey [B7]
[C] I've been for a [G] walk [B7] [Em]
on a winter's day [B7]
I'd be safe and [Em] warm [D] [C]
if I [D] was in L. [B7sus4]A. [B7]
California [Em] dreaming [D] [C]
on [D] such a winter's [B7sus4] day [B7]

Stopped into a [Em] church [D] [C]
I passed a-[D]long the [B7sus4] way [B7]
Well I [C] got down on my [G] knees [B7] [Em]
and I pre-[C]tend to pray [B7]
You know the preacher likes the [Em] cold [D] [C]
he knows [D] Im gonna [B7sus4] stay [B7]
California [Em] dreaming [D] [C]
on [D] such a winter's [B7sus4] day [B7]

If I didn't [Em] tell her [D] [C]

thanks ukedman.. I'm learning a lot.

the track sounds better with your intro if I play the chords in my earlier post a bit up (i.e., Fm - D# - C#) etc... right? and turn the last note of your intro into a "C 7sus4" (0011)..
 
I play this one in Dm, which is the best key for this song on the ukulele, IMO. I'll tab it out and post it up.
 
California dreaming - TAB - in Fm

Zip with my tabs of intro and verses of California Dreaming.

I agree with Seeso, I find Dm to be the better key for this song.
