F       Bb              C                F               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              Csus4

C

All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles,  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,

Ddim6                              Am         Gm                 F

I predict this Motel will be standing, until I pay my bill.

(Bb - C)

Bb  Am  Gm    C                 F

But don't the sun look angry through the trees,

Bb    Am         Gm    C    Dm

Don't the trees look like crucified thieves,

Dm                            Gm7

Don't you feel like desperados under the eaves,

Gm7                 Csus4  C   Fsus4   F

Heaven help the one who leaves.

Gm                                   Dm

Still waking up in the morning with shaking hands,

F                                C       Dm

And I'm trying to find a girl who understands me,

A                     A7              Dm    C

But except in dreams you're never really free,

Bb  Am  Gm    C  F

Don't the sun look angry at me.

Bb              C                F             F/A

I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel,

Bb                     C                      Dm

I was listening to the air conditioner hum,  It went,

(Dm   F/C  F)            (Bb  F  C)

Ummm Look away down, Gower avenue, look away.
