Celluloid Heros:The Kinks. Album - Everybody's In Show-Biz - 1972. #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. 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. #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.
