[D]
Everybody's [A] a [G] dreamer, everybody's [D] a star.
[F#m]
[Bm] Everybody's in movies, [G] doesn't matter who you [A] are.
There are [Bm] stars in every [F#m] city, [D] in [G] every house and on every [A] street.
And [D] if you walk down Hollywood [G] Boulevard, their [A] names are [D] written in concrete.
Don't step on [A] Greta Garbo [G] as you walk down the [D] boulevard.
She [F#m] looked so weak [Bm] and fragile, [G] that's why she tried to be so [A] hard.
[Bm] But they turned her into a [F#m] princess, and they [G] sat her on a [A] throne.
But [D] she turned her back [G] on stardom, because [A] she wanted to be [D] alone.
You [C] can see all the stars [G] as you walk down [D] Hollywood Boulevard.
[C] Some that you [G] recognize, some that you've hardly [D] even heard of.
[C] People who worked and [G]
suffered and struggled for [D] fame.
[C] Some who succeeded and [G]
some who suffered in [D] vain.
Rudolph [A]
Valentino [G] looks very [Em] much [D]
alive.
[F#m] And he looks up, made [Bm] his dresses, as [G] they sadly pass [A] him by.
[Bm] Avoid stepping on Bela [F#m]
Lugosi, [D] cause [G] he's liable to turn [A] and bite.
But [D] stand close by [G] Peggy Davis, [A] because hers was such a [D] lonely life.
If you covered him [A] with garbage, [G] George Saunders would still have [D]
style.
And [F#m] if you stamped on [Bm] Mickey Looney, he [G] would still turn around [A] and smile.
But [Bm] please don't tread on [F#m] dearest Marilyn, [G] cause she's not very [A]
tough.
She [D] should have been made [G] of iron or steel, [A] but she was only made of [D] flesh and blood.
[C] You can see all the stars [G] as you walk down [D] Hollywood Boulevard.
[C]
Some that you [G] recognize, some that you've hardly [D] even heard of.
[C]
People who worked [G] and suffered and struggled [D] for fame.
[C]
Some who succeeded [G] and some who suffered [D] in vain.
Everybody's [A] a dreamer, [G] and everybody's [D] a star.
[F#m] And everybody's in [Bm] showbiz, it [G] doesn't matter who you [A] are.
[Bm] And those who are [F#m] successful, [G] be always on your [A] guard.
Success [D]
walks hand in hand [G] with failure [A] along Hollywood [D] Boulevard.
I [C] wish my [G] life was a nonstop [D] Hollywood movie show.
[C] A fantasy world [G] of celluloid villains [D] and heroes.
[C] Because celluloid heroes [G]
never feel any [D] pain.
[C] And celluloid heroes [G]
never really [D] die.
You [C] can see all the stars [G] as you walk along Hollywood [D] Boulevard.

La, [C] la, la, la, [G] la, la, la, la,
[D] la, la, la.
[C] La, la, la, la, la, la, [G] la, la, la, la, la, [D]
la.
[C] Oh, celluloid heroes [G] never feel any [D] pain.
[C] Oh, celluloid heroes [G] never really [D] die.
