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
