D       A      G       D
Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star,
  F#m      Bm         G       A
And everybody's in movies, it doesn't matter who you are.
     Bm       F#m
There are stars in every city,
     G         A
In every house and on every street,
      D7         G
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
            A   D
Their names are written in concrete!

D          A      G         D
Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the boulevard,
  F#m        Bm           G       A
She looks so weak and fragile that's why she tried to be so hard
     Bm        F#m
But they turned her into a princess
     G      A
And they sat her on a throne,
    D7         G
But she turned her back on stardom,
           A  D
Because she wanted to be alone.

  C              G          D
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,
C            G              D
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of,
C           G             D
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
C           G          D
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.

D      A      G     D
Rudolph Valentino, looks very much alive,
    F#m       Bm       G       A
And he looks up ladies' dresses as they sadly pass him by.
   Bm         F#m
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
     G         A
'cos he's liable to turn and bite,
     D7       G
But stand close by Bette Davis
    A           D
Because hers was such a lonely life.

D            A
If you covered him with garbage,
    G            D
George Sanders would still have style,
      F#m        Bm
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
     G          A
He would still turn round and smile,
         Bm        F#m
But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn
   G       A
'cos she's not very tough,
  D7            G
She should have been made of iron or steel,
      A           D
But she was only made of flesh and blood.

  C              G          D
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,
C            G              D
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of,
C           G             D
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
C           G          D
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.

D       A      G       D
Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
  F#m      Bm          G       A
And everybody's in show biz, it doesn't matter who you are.
  Bm        F#m
And those who are successful,
  G       A
Be always on your guard,
    D7           G
Success walks hand in hand with failure
   A       D
Along Hollywood Boulevard.

 C         G         D     Dsus4 D
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,
C         G           D
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
C            G       D
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
C          G      D Dsus4 D
And celluloid heroes never really die.

  C              G          D    Dsus4 D
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,
C            G              D
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of,
C           G             D
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
C           G          D  Dsus4 D
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.

C G D Dsus4 D 2x

  C        G       D
Oh celluloid heroes never feel any pain
  C        G      D
Oh celluloid heroes never really die.

 C         G         D     Dsus4 D
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,
C         G           D
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
    C        G       D Dsus4 D
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
  C        G      D
And celluloid heroes never really die.
