I like sus4 better than the other versions. Also, the intro is simpler and sounds good.

E7sus4: 020200 (you can play E7sus4 or Esus4, and E7 or E)
G can be regular or 2x0002.

D D DUDU or better              D D DU U uD DUD
Capo on 4th fret (or not…)

intro:

                   Am  G  F (or Fmaj7)   G     E7sus4 E7sus4 E7
All the leaves are brown   and the sky is gray
 F               C  E7  Am         F     E7sus4  E7sus4  E7 E7
I've been for a walk       on a winter's day
                 Am  G  F     G     E7sus4   E7sus4   E7 E7
I'd be safe and warm    if I was in L.A.
                Am   G     F          G              E7sus4  E7sus4  E7sus4  E7sus4
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

                   Am  G  F   G     E7sus4 E7sus4 E7
Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
F               C  E7  Am         F     E7sus4  E7sus4  E7 E7
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
                 Am  G  F     G     E7sus4   E7sus4   E7 E7
You know the preacher liked the cold, He knows I'm gonna stay
                Am   G     F          G              E7sus4  E7sus4  E7sus4  E7sus4
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
