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"
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_hiatt/adios_to_california_crd.html ]
[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

(repeat intro riff, end on Am)
