Artist: Warren Zevon Song: Desperados Under the Eaves From: Warren Zevon (1st album) Transcribed by: Kevin Dutcher ([email protected])
F       Bb             C                  F       F/A
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel

          Bb            C                   Dm
I was staring in my empty coffee cup,

          A                  A7       Dm     Gm
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lyin',

            Fsus4             F              Csus4               C
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles,  I'm gonna drink 'em up

            Bb       C          Bb       F
And if California slides into the ocean,

           Bb             Am         Gm    F
Like the mystics and statistics say it will,

Bdim7                            Am         Gm              F
I predict this Motel will be standing, until I pay my bill.
(Bb - C)
               Bb  Am  Gm    C           F
But don't the sun look angry through the trees,

            Bb    Am         Gm    C    Dm
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves,

                  Dm                           Gm7
Don't you feel like desperados under the eaves,

Gm7              Csus4  C   Fsus4   F
Heaven help the one who leaves.

Gm                                      Dm
Still waking up in the morning with shaking hands,

           F                                C       Dm
And I'm trying to find a girl who understands me,

        A                       A7/G             Dm    C
But except in dreams you're never really free,

             Bb  Am  Gm    C  F
Don't the sun look angry at me.

          Bb           C                  F      F/A
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel,

          Bb                     C                    Dm
I was listening to the air conditioner hum,  It went,

(Dm   F/C  F)            (Bb  F  C)
Ummm
Look away down, Gower avenue, look away.
