[verse: 1] 
C               C/B         Am       Am/G
  Ran away from home when I was seventeen
            F             Dm7      G
To be with you on the California coast
C             C/B          Am                Am/G
  Drinking margaritas all night in the old cantina
F                  Dm7    G
  out on the California coast
 
C                           F
  Don't think that I'm ungrateful
C/G                   F      (G)
  and don't look so morose

  We never really made it, baby
       Dm                    G     
But we came pretty close
             C                  
Adios, adios________

[verse: 2]
C           C/B             Am               Am/G
  Going up north where the hills are winter green
            F                  Dm7      G
I have to leave you on the California coast
C                  C/B    Am                    Am/G
  Going where the water's clear and the air is cleaner
F             Dm7           G
  Than the California coast
 
C                         F
  Our dreams of endless summer 
C/G                    F        (G)
    Were just too grandiose
 
[chorus:]
    C                 F   C

Adios___________
F                                C      Am
  And I'll miss the blood red sunset
   Dm                       G
But I'll miss you the most
              C   Fm           (G)      C
Adios, adios         adios, adios    
F             (G)     C  {let ring}
