D             A           G             D

Everybody s a dreamer and everybody s a star,

    F#m            Bm                 G              A

And everybody s in movies, it doesn t matter who you are.

          Bm             F#m

There are stars in every city,

         G                  A

In every house and on every street,

           D7                  G

And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard

                        A      D

Their names are written in concrete!



D                   A            G                  D

Don t step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the boulevard,

    F#m               Bm                     G              A

She looks so weak and fragile that s why she tried to be so hard

         Bm                F#m

But they turned her into a princess

         G            A

And they sat her on a throne,

        D7                 G

But she turned her back on stardom,

                      A    D

Because she wanted to be alone.



    C                            G                   D

You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,

C                        G                            D

Some that you recognize, some that you ve hardly even heard of,

C                     G                          D

People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,

C                      G                    D

Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.



D            A           G          D

Rudolph Valentino, looks very much alive,

       F#m              Bm              G              A

And he looks up ladies  dresses as they sadly pass him by.

      Bm                 F#m

Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi

         G                  A

cos he’s liable to turn and bite,

          D7             G

But stand close by Bette Davis

        A                      D

Because hers was such a lonely life.



D                       A           

If you covered him with garbage,

       G                        D

George Sanders would still have style,

           F#m               Bm              

And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney

         G                    A

He would still turn round and smile,

                 Bm               F#m

But please don t tread on dearest Marilyn

    G              A

cos she s not very tough,

    D7                       G

She should have been made of iron or steel,

            A                      D

But she was only made of flesh and blood.



    C                            G                   D

You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,

People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,

C                      G                    D

Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.



D             A           G             D

Everybody s a dreamer and everybody s a star

    F#m            Bm                   G              A

And everybody s in show biz, it doesn t matter who you are.

    Bm               F#m

And those who are successful,

   G              A

Be always on your guard,

        D7                      G

Success walks hand in hand with failure

      A              D

Along Hollywood Boulevard.

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

C                  G                      D  

A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,

C                        G              D   

Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain

C                    G            D  Dsus4 D

And celluloid heroes never really die.



    C                            G                   D        Dsus4 D

You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,

Some that you recognize, some that you ve hardly even heard of,

C                     G                          D

People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,

C                      G                    D   Dsus4 D

Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.

Oh celluloid heroes never really die.

Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain

And celluloid heroes never really die.
