As recorded by Linda Ronstadt
C / Em / Am / C / F / Dm - G
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 F
Don't think that I'm ungrateful,
C F
And don't look so morose,
C - F - G D D7
Adios, adios.
F C
We never really made it, baby
Dm G
But we came pretty close.
C - F - G - F - Bb - F
Adios, adios.
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 F C F
Our dreams of endless summer were just too grandiose.
C - F - G D D7
Adios, adios.
F C Dm G
And I'll miss the blood red sunset, but I'll miss you the most.
C Fm C
Adios, adios, adios, adios.
F Dm - C
Adios, adi - os.
