Intro:
G      D/G     B11    Cadd9      :Play accented bass notes of chords on guitar with
                                  right hand muting across bridge.

Verse 1 : Right hand muting integral throughout verses on most every chord.
(D/G) = this chord barely suggested in verses.

G5                            ( D5 )                B5        C5
        She grew up with the children of the stars
G5                                 ( D5 )                     B5    C5
        In the    holl  y  wood   hills  and the boulevard
G5                             D5           B5          C5
        Her parents threw big parties       everyone was there
G5                           ( D5 )                       B5              C5
         They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper,   &  Bob Seeger, & Sonny and Cher

Intro to verse 2:
(Hit it hard! Strong root and 5th of chords: let upper notes ring.)

G ------------------ D/G --------------- B11----------------Cadd9

Verse 2
(same as verse 1)

G5                      D5          B5      C5
She feels safe now in this bar on fairfax
G5                        D5           B5              C5
And from the stage I can tell that she can't let go she can't relax
G5                   D5       B5          C5
And just before she hangs her head to cry,
G5                  D5                  B5     C5
I sing to her. . . .            a lulla-by

Chorus
(Hit it hard! Strong root and 5th of chords:)

             G5                D5               C5    (Stay on C5 )

             G5      D5                       C5

             G5                D5               C5

(Softly)

Verse 3
(same as before)

She still lives with her mom outside the city
Down that street about a half a mile
And all her friends tell her she's so pretty
But she'd be so much prettier if she smiled once in a while
Cause even her smile looks like a frown
She's seen her share on devils in this angel town

        Rockabye,               Rock       a      bye

             G5                D5               C5
             Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all     right

             A5                                     C5                       Tacit

Verse4
(same as before w/ variation on 4th line)

I told her I ain't so sure about this place

It's hard to play a gig in this town and keep a straight face

It seems like everybody's got a plan
G5                 D5              G5      G5
It's kind of like Nashville with a tan
