Artist: Butch Walker Song: "When Canyons Ruled The City" Album: "The Rise And Fall Of Butch Walker And The Let's-Go-Out-Tonites" Okay, my first one was wrong. Here's a much better one. I haven't notated the strumming patterns, I'm sure you can figure them out on your own. Capo on 4th fret (3rd fret live) Intro (after bass): D A E x2 Verse:

^ELaurel was a girl I knew, made of dirt and stone ^F#mPretty hip in younger years, but now she sits alone With a ^Ahundred thousand architectural disasters that She calls^E homes ^EBeverly Glen was pretty, all the rich boys loved her curves She ^F#mtried to get the credit, sometimes more than she deserved Like those^A cheesy 80's movies, epitomizing all things We'd come to^E know

Chorus: D A E x2 Verse 2:

^EBeachwood was a boheme from the sexy 60's scene ^F#mGrew up east of west Hollywood and somewhere in between All the ^Amadness Laurel puts up with, But somehow always tolerates^E a scene ^ENicols, he had a way with the performing arts A&^F#mamp;R guys having cookouts on his back with super stars But he ^Ahad some nasty habits and some potholes to Cover up this dram^Ea queen

Chorus: D A E x2 Verse 3:

^ESometimes Beachwood yelled at Laurel over terms of selling out ^F#mThen Laurel yelled at Beverly for not knowing what life's about With her ^Atrust fund friends and family, it felt like an earthquake When she'd^E shout And ^ESilverlake just stood there, with her nose up in the air Pushing ^F#mup her horn rimmed glasses saying, "I don't fucking care abou^At the madness all you idiots are buying, Selling and ^Eleasing up there"

Chorus: D A E x2

^ESan Fernando was a struggling actor who drove a deli truck On the ^F#msets of porno movies, he was just trying to make a buck While his ^Apilot was in escrow, he dreamed of Dating Beverly one ^Eday

Chorus: D A E x12
