Intro:
Dm  F/C  F   Bb  F  C

F     Bb             C           F            A
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
      Bb            C            Dm
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
      A                 A7           Dm     Gm
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lyin'
Fsus4   F
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles
Csus4     C
I'm gonna drink 'em up

       Bb         C           Bb  F
And if California slides into the ocean
         Bb             Am      Gm     F
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
                       Am         Gm           F      Bb     C   
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill

          Bb  Am   Gm    C           F
Don't the sun look angry through the trees
          Bb    Am        Gm   C    Dm
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves
                                         Gm7
Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves
                Csus4 C Fsus4 F
Heaven help the one who leaves

Gm                                   Dm
Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands
        F                              C      Dm
And I'm trying to find a girl who understands me
A                           A7           Dm   Gm
But except in dreams you're never really free
          Bb  Am   Gm    C  F
Don't the sun look angry at me

F     Bb             C           F            A
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
      Bb               C               Dm
I was listening to the air conditioner hum
        Dm  F/C  F   Bb  F  C
It went hmmm...
Dm  F/C  F   Bb  F  C
Hmmm... 
Dm        F/C  F                   Bb F    C
Look away down Gower Avenue, look awa-ay
Dm        F/C  F                   Bb F    C
Look away down Gower Avenue, look awa-ay
Dm        F/C  F                   Bb F    Csus4 C   Fsus4 F
Look away down Gower Avenue, look awa-ay
