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',
            F4                             F              C4
           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,
D?6                           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                 C4  C   F4   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  F )            ( Bb  F  C )
Ummm
Look away down, Gower avenue, look away.
