Hollywood Hopeful chords by Loudon Wainwright Iii

Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
Difficulty: Novice

Verse:
D                    C
I am a full fledged, grown-up adult
    C                             D
I'm tryin' make a dent, tryin' to get a result
D                          Am
I'm hold up in a Hollywood hotel suite
C                       D
Tequila to drink and avocado to eat

D (with hammer-on)

         D                          C
They got all kinds of victories and lots of downfalls
         C                     D
They got drugs in the rugs and ghosts in the walls
D                              Am
Starlets in the lobby that can make a man drool
C                           D
Blood on the curtains and a phone by the pool
D (with hammer-on)  Am C D

Verse:
D                            C
Well I never did see so many TV stars
      C                     D
And I never did see so many rented cars
  D                     Am
I never did see so many desperate eyes
      C                      D
And I never did hear so many bold faced lies

D (with hammer-on)

           D              Am
When I was ten years old, I was alive
        C                       D
And the Benedict Canyon down on Hutton Drive
     D                        Am
Well now I'm right back in my old backyard
        C                                D
And I'm tryin' to get a billboard on the boulevard
    C                                D
I'm tryin' to get a billboard on the boulevard

D (with hammer-on)  Am C D
D (with hammer-on)  Am C D

Verse:
       D                                C
Well I never thought I'd see the age of twenty-five
              C                           D
And it's been twenty-eight years now that I've been alive
         D                          Am
And in a matter of months I will be thirty years old
        C                            D
And the apprehension that I feel can hardly be told

D (with hammer-on)

D                    C
I am a full fledged, grown-up adult
    C                             D
I'm tryin' make a dent, tryin' to get a result
    D                      Am (hold)
I'm hold up in a Hollywood hotel suite
   C                    D
Tequila to drink and avocado to eat
   C                    D
Tequila to drink and avocado to eat

D (with hammer-on)  Am C D
