The Everly Brothers
Little Hollywood Girl (1962)
(Gerry Goffin/Jack Keller)
Now on: "From Nashville To Hollywood"

There are two released versions of this song: The "Nashville Version",
featuring prominent piano and chromatic guitar licks, is in C, the
"Hollywood Version", more in the traditional Everly Brothers style 
but with female voices echoing some of the phrases, is in B. I chose 
the second one here as it is easier to sing.


B                    Abm    B                   Abm
   (Little Hollywood girl,     little Hollywood girl)
B            Abm                  B           Abm
Each day you think a producer will give you a start
B            Abm               B              Abm
But when you go to audition you never get the part
E                                  C#m                 F#
You're only one of a million girls in a town without a heart
                 B
Little Hollywood girl (Little Hollywood girl)
                 Abm
Better call it a day (Little Hollywood girl)
                 E
Little Hollywood girl
F#               B
Put your make up away

B           Abm                      B                 Abm
The Marquee lights you are dazzled by don't shine your name
B             Abm                    B                     Abm
You know your chances are slimmer now and you're sorry you came
E                                    C#m                      F#
You wish that you could go home again, you no longer care for fame
                 B
Little Hollywood girl (Little Hollywood girl)
                 Abm
Better call it a day (Little Hollywood girl)
                 E
Little Hollywood girl
F#               B
Put your make up away

            E
I know it's so hard to quit
                                  B
You hate to admit you made a mistake
               E
You lived with only one dream

To be on the screen 
    C#(7)        C#m(7)  F#
And waking up is hard to take

                 B
Little Hollywood girl
                       Abm
It's just not meant to be
                 E
Little Hollywood girl
F#               
Better come home 
    B                     Abm      B                 Abm
to me   (Little Hollywood girl,     little Hollywood girl))
B                    Abm    B                   Abm
   (Little Hollywood girl,     little Hollywood girl))
