DAGD
Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star,
F#mBmGA
And everybody's in movies, it doesn't matter who you are.
BmF#m
There are stars in every city,
GA
In every house and on every street,
D7G
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
AD
Their names are written in concrete!
DAGD
Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the boulevard,
F#mBmGA
She looks so weak and fragile that's why she tried to be so hard
BmF#m
But they turned her into a princess
GA
And they sat her on a throne,
D7G
But she turned her back on stardom,
AD
Because she wanted to be alone.
CGD
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,
CGD
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of,
CGD
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
CGD
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.
DAGD
Rudolph Valentino, looks very much alive,
F#mBmGA
And he looks up ladies dresses as they sadly pass him by.
BmF#m
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
GA
cos he’s liable to turn and bite,
D7G
But stand close by Bette Davis
AD
Because hers was such a lonely life.
DA
If you covered him with garbage,
GD
George Sanders would still have style,
F#mBm
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
GA
He would still turn round and smile,
BmF#m
But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn
GA
cos she's not very tough,
D7G
She should have been made of iron or steel,
AD
But she was only made of flesh and blood.
CGD
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,
CGD
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of,

DAGD
Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
F#mBmGA
And everybody's in show biz, it doesn't matter who you are.
BmF#m
And those who are successful,
GA
Be always on your guard,
D7G
Success walks hand in hand with failure
AD
Along Hollywood Boulevard.

I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,

A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
CGD
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
CGDDsus4D
And celluloid heroes never really die.
