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 ^D7walk down Hollywood ^GBoulevard Their names are written ^Ain conc^Drete!

^DDon t step on Greta ^AGarbo as you ^Gwalk down the boule^Dvard, 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 ^D7turned her back on ^Gstardom, Because she wanted to ^Abe al^Done.

You ^Ccan see all the stars as you ^Gwalk down Hollywood ^DBoulevard, ^CSome that you recognize, ^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 a^Dlive, And he ^F#mlooks up ladies ^Bmdresses as they ^Gsadly pass him ^Aby. Avoid ^Bmstepping on Bela Lu^F#mgosi cos he’^Gs liable to turn an^Ad bite, But stand ^D7close 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#mstamped on Mickey ^BmRooney He would ^Gstill turn round and ^Asmile, But please don t ^Bmtread on dearest ^F#mMarilyn cos ^Gshe s not very ^Atough, She ^D7should 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 suc^F#mcessful, Be ^Galways on your ^Aguard, Success ^D7walks hand in hand with ^Gfailure Along ^AHollywood Boule^Dvard.

I ^Cwish my life was a ^Gnon-stop Hollywood ^Dmovie show^Dsus4, ^{D C}A fantasy world of ^Gcelluloid villains and ^Dheroes, ^CBecause celluloid heroes ^Gnever feel any ^Dpain ^CAnd celluloid heroes ^Gnever really ^Ddie^Dsus4. ^D
