[Am]Smokey room and a [C]thin blue light
[Fmaj7]Her arms were [Dm]pale as white
[Dm]Tryin' to out-[Fmaj7]last the night
[G]Howlin' at the [Am]moon
[Am]Living in the C[C]anyon 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 Cali-[G]forn-[C]ia
[G]Nothing to do but turn a-[Am]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"
[Fmaj7]Have a little faith, it might [Dm]set you free
[Dm]But your faith's no [Fmaj7]good, you see
[G]For me and my des-[Am]ire
(Chorus:)
[F]So Adios to Cali-[G]forn-[C]ia
[G]Nothing to do but turn a-[Am]round
I [F]always thought there's someone [G]comin' [C]for ya
[Am]Only [G]way you'd leave this [Fmaj7]town
(solo)
[Am]Two cigarettes from the [C]package gone
[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 Cali-[G]forn-[C]ia
[G]Nothing to do but turn a-[Am]round
I [F]always knew there's someone [G]comin' [C]for ya
[Am]Only [G]way you'd leave this [Fmaj7]town
[Am]Only [G]way you'd leave this[Fmaj7] town
