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" 


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 


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 

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)
