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
