D MajorD       A augmentedA      G+G       D MajorD
Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star,
  F# minorF#m      B minorBm         G+G       A augmentedA
And everybody's in movies, it doesn't matter who you are.
     B minorBm       F# minorF#m
There are stars in every city,
     G+G         A augmentedA
In every house and on every street,
      D7D7         G+G
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
            A augmentedA   D MajorD
Their names are written in concrete!

D MajorD          A augmentedA      G+G         D MajorD
Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the boulevard,
  F# minorF#m        B minorBm           G+G       A augmentedA
She looks so weak and fragile that's why she tried to be so hard
     B minorBm        F# minorF#m
But they turned her into a princess
     G+G      A augmentedA
And they sat her on a throne,
    D7D7         G+G
But she turned her back on stardom,
           A augmentedA  D MajorD
Because she wanted to be alone.

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

D MajorD      A augmentedA      G+G     D MajorD
Rudolph Valentino, looks very much alive,
    F# minorF#m       B minorBm       G+G       A augmentedA
And he looks up ladies' dresses as they sadly pass him by.
   B minorBm         F# minorF#m
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
     G+G         A augmentedA
'cos he's liable to turn and bite,
     D7D7       G+G
But stand close by Bette Davis
    A augmentedA           D MajorD
Because hers was such a lonely life.

D MajorD            A augmentedA
If you covered him with garbage,
    G+G            D MajorD
George Sanders would still have style,
      F# minorF#m        B minorBm
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
     G+G          A augmentedA
He would still turn round and smile,
         B minorBm        F# minorF#m
But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn
   G+G       A augmentedA
'cos she's not very tough,
  D7D7            G+G
She should have been made of iron or steel,
      A augmentedA           D MajorD
But she was only made of flesh and blood.

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

D MajorD       A augmentedA      G+G       D MajorD
Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
  F# minorF#m      B minorBm          G+G       A augmentedA
And everybody's in show biz, it doesn't matter who you are.
  B minorBm        F# minorF#m
And those who are successful,
  G+G       A augmentedA
Be always on your guard,
    D7D7           G+G
Success walks hand in hand with failure
   A augmentedA       D MajorD
Along Hollywood Boulevard.

 C majorC         G+G         D MajorD     Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,
C majorC         G+G           D MajorD
A augmentedA fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
C majorC            G+G       D MajorD
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
C majorC          G+G      D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
And celluloid heroes never really die.

  C majorC              G+G          D MajorD    Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,
C majorC            G+G              D MajorD
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of,
C majorC           G+G             D MajorD
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
C majorC           G+G          D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.

C majorC G+G D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD 2x

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

 C majorC         G+G         D MajorD     Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,
C majorC         G+G           D MajorD
A augmentedA fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
    C majorC        G+G       D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
