[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.
[CHORUS]
C F G D D7
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]

Adios, adios.

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.

Adios, adi - os.
