#1. 
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, 
           C                   G 
and if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard 
                A             D 
their names are written in concrete. 

#2. 
D                    A                 G        D 
Don't tread 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               G            A 
But they turned her into a princess and they sat her on a throne, 
        C                  G                    A            D 
but she turned her back on stardom, 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 recognise, 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.
#3. 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 G A Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi, cause he's liable to turn and bite. C G A D But stand close by Bette Davis, because hers was such a lonely life. Chorus: C G D You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard. C G D Some that you recognise, 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. #4. D A G D If you covered him with garbage, George Sanders would still have style. F#m Bm G A And if you stomped on Mickey Rooney, he would still turn round and smile. Bm F#m G A But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn, cause she's not very tough. D G She should have been made of iron or steel, A D but she was only made of flesh and blood. #5. 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 G A And those who are successful, be always on your guard. D G Success walks hand in hand with failure, A D along Hollywood Boulevard. Chorus: C G D You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard. C G D Some that you recognise, 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. #6. C G D 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 and celluloid heroes never really die. Chorus: C G D You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard. C G D Some that you recognise, 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. #7. C G D La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. C G D La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. C G D Oh, celluloid heroes never feel any pain, C G D Oh, celluloid heroes never really die. #8. C G D 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 and celluloid heroes never really die. A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
