D A G D Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star F#m Bm G And everybody's in movies, it doesn't matter A 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 Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the boulevard She looks so weak and fragile, that's why she tried to be so hard But they turned her into a princess and they sat her on a throne But she turned her back on stardom because she wanted to be alone Chorus: C G You can see all the stars as you walk D down Hollywood Boulevard C G Some that you recognise, some that you've D hardly even heard of C G People who worked and suffered, D and struggled for fame C G D Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain Rudolph Valentino looks very much alive And he looks up ladies' dresses as they sadly pass him by Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi 'cause he's liable to turn and bite But stand close by Bette Davis because hers was such a lonely life If you covered him with garbage, George Sanders would still have style And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney, he would still turn 'round and smile But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn 'cause she's not very tough She should have been made of iron or steel, but she was only made of flesh and blood Chorus: You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of Oh, people who worked and suffered and struggled for fame Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star And everybody's in show biz, it doesn't matter who you are And those who are successful, be always on your guard Success walks hand in hand with failure along Hollywood Boulevard I wish my life was a nonstop Hollywood movie show A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain And celluloid heroes never really die Chorus: You can see all the stars as you walk along Hollywood Boulevard Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Oh, celluloid heroes never feel any pain Oh, celluloid heroes never really die I wish my life was a nonstop Hollywood movie show A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain And celluloid heroes never really die | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA Bm C D F#m G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
