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.
