Leaves

Play this riff for the rest of the song. I've noted the bars as E and A for reference throughout the lyrics.

E  A
                        E
The leaves, they don't change here
                  A                              E
The leaves don't change here, so I never saw it coming
        A                               E
Winter hit me, Hiroshima, where did the sun go?
                     A                          E
Just the cruel rain pouring, you say that it's over
                 A                         E
How could it be over, when I never saw it coming?

           A                E
Sweet California, sour California
           A                  E
Sweet California, bitter California
           A
Sweet California
                   E                         A
I should've known better, I should've known better
                         E
Cause the leaves don't change here

                   A                     E
Heart caught in a riptide, cold Pacific waters
                    A                     E
Keep on pulling me under, drowning in my sorrows
                   A                             E
Eager waves keep on crashing, you say that it's over
                 A                    E
How could it be over? I never saw it coming

           A                E
Sweet California, sour California
           A                  E
Sweet California, bitter California
           A
Sweet California
                   E                         A
I should've known better, I should've known better
                         E
Cause the leaves don't change here

                   A                    E
You know I'm from here, I never saw it coming
               A
Where did the summer go, when you loved me?
               E                   A
Where did the summer go, when you loved me?
              E                        A
You say it's over now, how could it be over?
                E
I never saw it coming

           A                E
Sweet California, sour California
           A                  E
Sweet California, bitter California
           A
Sweet California
                   E
Oh, I should've known better
                   A
I should've known better
                         E
The leaves, they don't change here
