Kinks - Celluloid heroes

^DEverybody's a ^Adreamer and ^Geverybody's a ^Dstar, And ^F#meverybody's in ^Bmmovies, it doesn't ^Gmatter who you ^Aare. There are ^Bmstars in every ^F#mcity, in every ^Ghouse and on every ^Astreet, and if you ^Cwalk down Hollywood ^GBoulevard their names are ^Awritten in con^Dcrete.

^DDon't tread on Greta ^AGarbo as you walk ^Gdown the ^DBoulevard, She ^F#mlooks so weak and ^Bmfragile that's why she ^Gtried to be so ^Ahard. But they ^Bmturned her into a ^F#mprincess and they ^Gsat her on a ^Athrone, but she ^Cturned her back on ^Gstardom, because she ^Awanted to be ^Dalone.

You can ^Csee all the stars as you ^Gwalk down Hollywood ^DBoulevard. ^CSome that you recognise, ^Gsome that you've hardly even ^Dheard of. ^CPeople who worked and ^Gsuffered, and struggled for ^Dfame, ^Csome who succeeded and ^Gsome who suffered in ^Dvain.

^DRudolph Valen^Atino, looks ^Gvery much ^Dalive, And he ^F#mlooks up ladies' ^Bmdresses as they ^Gsadly pass him ^Aby. Avoid ^Bmstepping on Bela ^F#mLugosi, cause he's ^Gliable to turn and ^Abite. But stand ^Cclose by Bette ^GDavis, because ^Ahers was such a lonely ^Dlife.

^DIf you covered him with ^Agarbage, George ^GSanders would still have ^Dstyle. And if you ^F#mstomped on Mickey ^BmRooney, he would ^Gstill turn round and ^Asmile. But please don't ^Bmtread on dearest ^F#mMarilyn, cause ^Gshe's not very ^Atough. She ^Dshould have been made of ^Giron or steel, but she was ^Aonly made of flesh and ^Dblood.

^DEverybody's a ^Adreamer and ^Geverybody's a ^Dstar, And ^F#meverybody's in ^Bmshow biz, it doesn't ^Gmatter who you ^Aare. And ^Bmthose who are ^F#msuccessful, be ^Galways on your ^Aguard. Success ^Dwalks hand in hand with ^Gfailure, along ^AHollywood Boule^Dvard.

I ^Cwish my life was a ^Gnon-stop Hollywood ^Dmovie show, a ^Cfantasy world of ^Gcelluloid villains and ^Dheroes. ^CBecause celluloid heroes ^Gnever feel any ^Dpain, and ^Ccelluloid heroes ^Gnever really ^Ddie.
