| Celluloid Heroes |
| The Kinks |
| D | A | G | D | |
| Everybody's a | dreamer and | everybody's a | star |
| F#m | Bm | G | A | |
| And | everybody's in | movies, it doesn't | matter who you | are |
| Bm | F#m | |
| There are | starts 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 conc | rete |
| 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 |
| C | G | D | |
| You can | see all the stars as you | walk down Hollywood | Boulevard |
| C | G | D | |
| Some that you recognize, | some that you've hardly even | heard of |
| C | G | D | |
| People who worked and | suffered 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 |
| 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 non-stop Hollywood movie show |
| A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes |
| Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain |
| And celluloid heroes never really die |
| You can see all the stars as you walk along... |
| La la la la.... |
| Oh, celluloid heroes never feel any pain |
| Oh, celluloid heroes never really die |
| I wish my life was non-stop Hollywood movie show |
| A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes |
| Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain |
| And celluloid heroes never really die |
