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.

The leaves, they don't cEhange here The leaves don't cAhange here, so I never saw it cEoming Winter hAit me, Hiroshima, where did the Esun go? Just the cruel rain pAouring, you say that it's oEver How could it be oAver, when I never saw it cEoming?
[Chorus]
Sweet CalifAornia, sour CalifEornia Sweet CalifAornia, bitter CalifEornia Sweet CalifAornia I should've known bEetter, I should've known bAetter Cause the leaves don't chEange here
[Verse]
Heart caught in a rAiptide, cold Pacific wEaters Keep on pulling me uAnder, drowning in my sEorrows Eager waves keep onA crashing, you say that it's oEver How could it be oAver? I never saw it cEoming
[Chorus]
Sweet CalifAornia, sour CalifEornia Sweet CalifAornia, bitter CalifEornia Sweet CalifAornia I should've known bEetter, I should've known bAetter Cause the leaves don't chEange here
[Verse]
You know I'm from hAere, I never saw it cEoming Where did the sAummer go, when you loved me? Where did the sEummer go, when you lAoved me? You say it's oEver now, how could it be Aover? I never saw it cEoming
[Chorus]
Sweet CalifAornia, sour CalifEornia Sweet CalifAornia, bitter CalifEornia Sweet CalifAornia Oh, I should've knoEwn better I should've known bAetter The leaves, they don't chEange here
