Chords with lyrics
A minorAm
Well it's raining it's pouring, you didn't bring a sweater
A minorAm D7/F#D7/F# E MajorE F#7F#7 G minorGm AbmAbm
Nebraska'll never let you come back home
A minorAm
Hollywood and Vine by the Thrifty Mart sign
D7/F#D7/F# E MajorE F#7F#7 G minorGm AbmAbm
any night I'll be willin' to bet
A minorAm
There's a young girl with sweet little dreams and pretty blue wishes
D/F#D/F# E MajorE A minorAm
standin' there just gettin' all wet
A minorAm
And there's a place off the drag called the Gilbert Hotel
D7/F#D7/F# E MajorE F#7F#7 G minorGm AbmAbm
and there's a couple letters burned out in the sign
A minorAm
And it's better than a bus stop they do good business every time it rains
for little girls with nothing in their jeans
D7/F#D7/F# E MajorE A minorAm
but pretty blue wishes and sweet little jeans
A minorAm
And it's raining it's pouring, the old man is snoring
Now I lay me down to sleep
I hear the sirens in the street
All my dreams are made of chrome
D7/F#D7/F# E MajorE F#7F#7 G minorGm AbmAbm
I have no way to get back home
A minorAm
I'd rather die before I wake
D7/F#D7/F#
like Marilyn Monroe
A minorAm
and you could throw my dreams out in the street
D7/F#D7/F# E MajorE A minorAm
and let the rain make 'em grow
(Solo)
A minorAm
Now the night clerk he got a club foot
He's heard every hard luck story
D7/F#D7/F# E MajorE F#7F#7 G minorGm AbmAbm
at least a hundred times or more
A minorAm
He says: Check out time is 10 a.m.
and that's just what it means
Go on up the stairs
D7/F#D7/F# E MajorE A minorAm
with sweet little wishes and pretty blue dreams
A minorAm D7/F#D7/F#
And it's raining it's pouring and Hollywood's just fine
A minorAm
Swindle a little girl out of her dreams
E MajorE F#7F#7 G minorGm AbmAbm
another letter in the sign
A minorAm
Now never trust a scarecrow wearin' shades after dark
D7/F#D7/F#
be careful of that old bow tie he wears
It takes a sweet little bullet from a pretty blue gun
D7/F#D7/F# E MajorE A minorAm
to put those scarlet ribbons in your hair
(Solo)
A minorAm
No, that ain't no cherry bomb
D/F#D/F#
4th of July's all done
Just some fool playin' that second line
D7/F#D7/F# E MajorE A minorAm
from the barrel of a pretty blue gun
A minorAm
No, that ain't no cherry bomb
D/F#D/F#
4th of July's all done
Just some fool playin' that second line
D7/F#D7/F# E MajorE A minorAm
from the barrel of a pretty blue gun
