DAGD
Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
F#mBmGA
And everybody's in movies, it doesn't matter who you are
BmF#m
There are stars in every city
GA
In every house and on every street
C/DG
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
AD
Their names are written in concrete
[Verse 2]
DAGD
Don't tread on Greta Garbo as you walk down the Boulevard
F#mBmGA
She looks so weak and fragile that's why she tried to be so hard
BmF#mGA
But they turned her into a princess and they sat her on a throne
C/DGAD
But she turned her back on stardom, because she wanted to be alone
[Chorus A]
CGD
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
CGD
Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly even heard of
CGD
People who worked and suffered, and struggled for fame
CGD
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
[Verse 3]
DAGD
Rudolph Valentino, looks very much alive,
F#mBmGA
And he looks up ladies' dresses as they sadly pass him by
BmF#mGA
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi, cause he's liable to turn and bite
C/DGAD
But stand close by Bette Davis, because hers was such a lonely life
[Chorus A]
CGD
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
CGD
Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly even heard of
CGD
People who worked and suffered, and struggled for fame
CGD
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
[Verse 4]
DAGD
If you covered him with garbage, George Sanders would still have style
F#mBmGA
And if you stomped on Mickey Rooney, he would still turn round and smile
BmF#mGA
But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn, cause she's not very tough
C/DG
She should have been made of iron or steel
AD
But she was only made of flesh and blood
[Chorus A]
CGD
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
CGD
Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly even heard of
CGD
People who worked and suffered, and struggled for fame
CGD
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
[Verse 5]
DAGD
Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
F#mBmGA
And everybody's in show biz, it doesn't matter who you are
BmF#mGA
And those who are successful, be always on your guard
C/DG
Success walks hand in hand with failure
AD
Along Hollywood Boulevard.
[Chorus B]
CGD
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
CGD
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
CGD
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
CGD
And celluloid heroes never really die
[Chorus A]
CGD
You can see all the stars as you walk along Hollywood Boulevard
CGD
Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly even heard of
CGD
People who worked and suffered, and struggled for fame
CGD
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
[Chorus B]
CGD
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
CGD
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
CGD
Oh, celluloid heroes never feel any pain
CGD
Oh, celluloid heroes never really die
[Chorus B]
CGD
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
CGD
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
CGD
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
CGDsus2D
And celluloid heroes never really die
