[Am]Smokey room and a [C]thin blue light
[Fmaj7]Her arms were [Dm]pale as white
[Dm]Tryin' to [Fmaj7]out-last the night
[G]Howlin' at the [Am]moon
[Am]Living in the [C]Canyon Inn
[Fmaj7]Hangdown Hanna and [Dm]Whis-key Jim
[Dm]Dirty jeans and [Fmaj7]mud-slide hymns
[G]That all began with [Am]"Soon"
Chorus:
[F]So Adios to [G][C]Cali-forn-ia
[G]Nothing to do but turn [Am]a-round
I [F]always thought there's someone [G]comin' [C]for ya
[Am]Only [G]way you'd leave this [Fmaj7]town
(repeat intro riff)
[Am]Pasadena in the [C]rain
[Fmaj7]Eatin' donuts and [Dm]readin' Twain
[Dm]How much longer [Fmaj7]can my brain
[G]Set itself on [Am]fire?
[Am]You said "That's [C]it for me"

[G]For me and my [Am]des-ire

[Fmaj7]You must have thought about it [Dm]just that long
[Dm]I never knew you [Fmaj7]were so strong
[G]I guess I never [Am]will
Chorus:
[F]So Adios to [G][C]Cali-forn-ia
