[VERSE 1]
C               Em        Am         C
  Ran away from home when I was seventeen,
           F          Dm         G
to be with you on the California coast.
C                Em        Am                  C
   Drinking margaritas all night in the old cantina,
F                 Dm     G
   out on the California coast.
 
C                  G     F
  Don't think that I'm ungrateful,
C                G    F
  and don't look so morose.

Adios,         adios.
F                 G        C
  We never really made it, baby
    Dm                   G
but we came pretty close.
             C  G - F  Am7  G - F  Bb
Adios, adios.

[VERSE 2] 
C          Em              Am                C
  Going up north where the hills are winter green,
          F                Dm         G
I have to leave you on the California coast.
C                 Em      Am                   C
  Going where the water's clear and the air is cleaner
F             Dm      G
  than the California coast.
 
C               G       F      
  Our dreams of endless summer 
C        G              F
    were just too grandiose.

[CHORUS]
   C - F   G     D   D7
Adios,        adios.
F                   G         C 
  And I'll miss the blood red sunset, 
Dm               F         G
But I'll miss you the most.
          C    Fm            C 
Adios, adios,     adios, adios.    
F                  Dm   C
  Adios, adi - os.
