Sunset Boulevard chords by Lynn Miles

Lynn Miles - Sunset Boulevard


CAPO: 5th Fret



INTRO: Em  C9  B7  (4x)

        Em
There's lithium in the sunset
        C9
There's rats in the trees
        B7
And the temperature is always
Em
Seventy-six degrees

When the mighty fall here
     C9
They fall real hard
        B7
And the Marlboro Man is watching them
          Em         C9  B7
On Sunset Boulevard


  Em
I cannot get a breath
  C9
I cannot get a break
      B7
I can taste the desperation
           Em
'Cause the deal is at stake

For every nip and tuck
           C9
There is a vicious little scar
        B7
And the Marlboro Man is peering down
          Em         C9  B7
On Sunset Boulevard


   Em
Be careful how you talk to her
          C9
She might be someone you need
         B7
And it's such an easy leap
        Em
From sincerity to greed

Now everybody's waiting
        C9
Just to see the next card
        B7
And the Marlboro Man is smokin'
               Em
Down on Sunset Boulevard


CHORUS:
          C
There's a body on the beach
       G
And it doesn't make the news
     C
It's sweeps month here
      B7
And nobody wants to lose
   C
He didn't have connections
       G
Didn't even own a car
   C
So it ain't worth reporting
            B7                    Em    C9  B7
'Cause he's not a superstar, yeah yeah


    Em
You cannot be too rich
    C9
You cannot be too thin
             B7
Don't bother entering the fray
              Em
Unless you're certain you can win

Take a look around you, baby
      C9
Every blade of grass is charred
        B7
And the Marlboro Man is laughing
          Em         C9  B7
On Sunset Boulevard


Em
Grooming is everything
         C9
And your car is your purse
      B7
Don't give the right of way
     Em
Even if it's a hearse

Forget about that loser
       C9
'Cause he ain't going far
            B7
Anyway, the Marlboro Man is waiting for you
               Em
Down on Sunset Boulevard


CHORUS:
          C
There's a body on the beach
       G
And it doesn't make the news
     C
It's sweeps month here
      B7
And nobody wants to lose
   C
He didn't have connections
       G
Didn't even own a car
   C
So it ain't worth reporting
            B7                    Em    C9  B7
'Cause he's not a superstar, yeah yeah


               Em
The horses are chompin' at their bits
    C9
The dam is gonna burst
    B7
The ground is gonna rumble
        Em
And the sun is a curse

So don't look too excited
          B7
But never let down your guard

'Cause the Marlboro Man is watching you
               Em         C9  B7
Down on Sunset Boulevard


OUTRO:   (## repeat and fade to end ##)
