♫ Intro:

A7A7 D7D7 A7A7


♫ Verse 1:
A7A7           D7D7
You know the Hollywood sign
   A7A7           D7D7
That stands in the Hollywood hills
 A7A7              E7E7 D7D7
I don't think the christ of the andes
           A7A7
Ever blessed so many ills
              D7D7
The hollywood sign seems to smile
     A7A7         D7D7
Like it's constantly saying "cheese"
 A7A7           E7E7  D7D7
I doubt if the statue of liberty
           A7A7
Ever welcomed more refugees

♫ Verse 2:
A7A7
Give me your poor
   D7D7
Your tired your pimps
  A7A7
You carhops your cowboys
   D7D7
Your midgets your chimps
A7A7
Give me your freaks
   D7D7
Your whores your harlots
   A7A7
Your flunkies your junkies
D7D7 N.C.
  Give me your starlets


♫ Bridge:
A7A7
Mary Cecilia Brown
    E7E7
Rode to town on a Malibu bus
E7E7
She climbed to the top
E7E7
Of the Hollywood sign
                A7A7
And with the smallest possible fuss
A7A7
She jumped off the letter "H"
      E7E7
'cause she did not become a star
E7E7
She died in less than a minute and a half
               A7A7
She looked a bit like Hedy Lamarr
A7A7
Sometimes I have this dream
     E7E7
When the time comes for me to go
E7E7
I will climb that hill
E7E7
And I'll hang myself
                 A7A7
From the second or third letter "O"

♫ Verse 3:
   D7D7
When Mary Cecilia jumped
  A7A7
She finally made the grade
  E7E7
Her name was in the obituary column
            N.C.
Of both the daily trades


♫ Verse 4:
A7A7          D7D7
I hope the Hollywood sign
A7A7          D7D7
Cries for the town it touches
  A7A7            D7D7
The lady of Lourdes in her grotto
            A7A7
Saw fewer cripples and crutches


♫ Verse 5:
A7A7
Give me your poor
   D7D7
Your maladjusted
   A7A7
Your sick and your beat
     D7D7
And your sad and your busted
A7A7
Give me your has-beens
D7D7
Give me your twisted
   A7A7        D7D7
Your loners your losers
N.C.
Give me your black-listed


♫ Interlude:
A7A7 D7D7 A7A7 D7D7 A7A7 D7D7
A7A7 D7D7 A7A7 D7D7 A7A7 D7D7
A7A7 D7D7


♫ Verse 6:
A7A7           D7D7
You know the Hollywood sign
  A7A7        D7D7
The witness to our confusion
 A7A7
A augmentedA symbol of dreams
       D7D7
Turns out to be
 N.C.
A augmentedA sign of disillusion
