Am                C
Smokey room and a thin blue light

Fmaj7         Dm
Her arms were pale as white

Dm            Fmaj7
Tryin' to out-last the night

G              Am
Howlin' at the moon

Am             C
Living in the Canyon Inn

Fmaj7              Dm
Hangdown Hanna and Whis-key Jim

Dm              Fmaj7
Dirty jeans and mud-slide hymns

G                   Am
That all began with "Soon"
[Chorus:]
F                G    C
So Adios to Cali-forn-ia

G                        Am
Nothing to do but turn a-round

  F                              G      C
I always thought there's someone comin' for ya

Am   G                    Fmaj7    
Only way you'd leave this town
(repeat intro riff)
Am              C
Pasadena in the rain

Fmaj7             Dm
Eatin' donuts and readin' Twain

Dm              Fmaj7   
How much longer can my brain

G             Am
Set itself on fire?

Am               C
You said "That's it for me"

Fmaj7                         Dm
Have a little faith, it might set you free

Dm                  Fmaj7
But your faith's no good, you see

G                 Am
For me and my des-ire
[Chorus:]
F                G    C
So Adios to Cali-forn-ia

G                        Am
Nothing to do but turn a-round

  F                              G      C
I always thought there's someone comin' for ya

Am   G                    Fmaj7        
Only way you'd leave this town
(solo)
Am                      C
Two cigarettes from the package gone

Fmaj7                          Dm
You must have thought about it just that long

Dm               Fmaj7
I never knew you were so strong

G               Am
I guess I never will
[Chorus:]
F                G    C
So Adios to Cali-forn-ia

G                        Am
Nothing to do but turn a-round

  F                           G      C
I always knew there's someone comin' for ya

Am   G                    Fmaj7        
Only way you'd leave this town

Am   G                   Fmaj7
Only way you'd leave this town
(repeat intro riff, end on Am)
