Leaves by Miguel
Leaves
Listen to the song to get a feel for the rhythm of it. It's pretty simple to get down. There are some slides
and hammer-ons and shiny bits in there that you can fiddle around with but these are the bones.
Apparently, it's played capoed when it's live but this is the album version.

[Verse]
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
