Celluloid Heroes The Kinks
Celluloid Heroes chords
The Kinks *
[D]Everybody s a [A]dreamer and [G]everybody s a [D]star,
And [F#m]everybody s in [Bm]movies, it doesn t [G]matter who you [A]are.
There are [Bm]stars in every [F#m]city,
In every [G]house and on every [A]street,
And if you [D7]walk down Hollywood [G]Boulevard
Their names are written [A]in conc[D]rete!
[D]Don t step on Greta [A]Garbo as you [G]walk down the boule[D]vard,
She [F#m]looks so weak and [Bm]fragile that s why she [G]tried to be so [A]hard
But they [Bm]turned her into a [F#m]princess
And they [G]sat her on a [A]throne,
But she [D7]turned her back on [G]stardom,
Because she wanted to [A]be al[D]one.
You [C]can see all the stars as you [G]walk down Hollywood [D]Boulevard,
[C]Some that you recognize, [G]some that you ve hardly even [D]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.
[D]Rudolph Valen[A]tino, looks [G]very much a[D]live,
And he [F#m]looks up ladies [Bm]dresses as they [G]sadly pass him [A]by.
Avoid [Bm]stepping on Bela Lu[F#m]gosi
cos heā??[G]s liable to turn an[A]d bite,
But stand [D7]close by Bette [G]Davis
Because [A]hers was such a lonely [D]life.
[D]If you covered him with [A]garbage,
George [G]Sanders would still have [D]style,
And if you [F#m]stamped on Mickey [Bm]Rooney
He would [G]still turn round and [A]smile,
But please don t [Bm]tread on dearest [F#m]Marilyn
cos [G]she s not very [A]tough,
She [D7]should have been made of [G]iron or steel,
But she was [A]only made of flesh and [D]blood.
You [C]can see all the stars as you [G]walk down Hollywood [D]Boulevard,
[C]Some that you recognize, [G]some that you ve hardly even [D]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.
[D]Everybody s a [A]dreamer and [G]everybody s a [D]star
And [F#m]everybody s in [Bm]show biz, it doesn t [G]matter who you [A]are.
And [Bm]those who are suc[F#m]cessful,
Be [G]always on your [A]guard,
Success [D7]walks hand in hand with [G]failure
Along [A]Hollywood Boule[D]vard.
I [C]wish my life was a [G]non-stop Hollywood [D]movie show[Dsus4],[D]
[C]A fantasy world of [G]celluloid villains and [D]heroes,
[C]Because celluloid heroes [G]never feel any [D]pain
[C]And celluloid heroes [G]never really [D]die[Dsus4].[D]
You [C]can see all the stars as you [G]walk down Hollywood [D]Boulevard[Dsus4],[D]
[C]Some that you recognize, [G]some that you ve hardly even [D]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[Dsus4].[D]
C G D Dsus4 D 2x
Oh [C]celluloid heroes [G]never feel any [D]pain
Oh c[C]elluloid heroes [G]never really [D]die.
I [C]wish my life was a [G]non stop Hollywood [D]movie show[Dsus4],[D]
[C]A fantasy world of [G]celluloid villains and [D]heroes,
Because [C]celluloid heroes [G]never feel any [D]pai[Dsus4]n[D]
And [C]celluloid heroes [G]never really [D]die.
