I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
          Bb5              C5                   D5
I was staring in my empty coffee cup,
          A5                         A5                  D5        G5
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lyin',
            F5                             F5              C5
           C5
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles,  I'm gonna drink 'em up

            Bb5           C5          Bb5       F5
And if California slides into the ocean,
         Bb5                A5         G5    F5
Like the mystics and statistics say it will,
D?6                           A5         G5                 F5
I predict this Motel will be standing, until I pay my bill.

But don't the sun look angry through the trees,
          Bb5    A5         G5    C5    D5
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves,
                  D5                         G5
Don't you feel like desperados under the eaves,
G5                 C5  C5   F5   F5
Heaven help the one who leaves.

G5                              D5
Still waking up in the morning with shaking hands,
         F5                            C5       D5
And I'm trying to find a girl who understands me,
      A5                  A5             D5    C5
But except in dreams you're never really free,
           Bb5  A5  G5    C5  F5
Don't the sun look angry at me.
          Bb5             C5              F5            F5
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel,
          Bb5                     C5                      D5
I was listening to the air conditioner hum ,  It went,

( D5   F5  F5 )            ( Bb5  F5  C5 )
Ummm
Look away down, Gower avenue, look away.
