Celluloid Heroes The Kinks
PROPS GO TO: ken1981
These are just the chords with the song (live acoustic version), but in fact there's an acoustic fingerpicking guitar in it too. I'm not sure about the chords played at the very end...but it sounds pretty good. Here it is:
[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]starts in every [F#m]city
In every [G]house and on every st[A]reet
And if you w[D]alk down Hollywood B[G]oulevard
Their names are writ[A]ten in con[D]crete
[D]Don't tread on Greta Ga[A]rbo as you wa[G]lk down the Boulev[D]ard
She [F#m]looks so weak and fr[Bm]agile that's why she t[G]ried to be so h[A]ard
But they t[Bm]urned her into a p[F#m]rincess
And they s[G]at her on a th[A]rone
But she tu[D]rned her [F#m]back on sta[G]rdom
Because she wa[A]nted to be a[D]lone
You can s[C]ee all the stars as you w[G]alk down Hollywood Bo[D]ulevard
[C]Some that you recognize, s[G]ome that you've hardly even h[D]eard of
[C]People who worked and suf[G]fered and struggled for f[D]ame
[C]Some who succeeded and s[G]ome who suffered in v[D]ain
R[D]udolph Valen[A]tino looks v[G]ery much a[D]live
And he l[F#m]ooks up ladies dr[Bm]esses as they sa[G]dly pass him [A]by
A[Bm]void stepping on Bela Lu[F#m]gosi
'Cause he's l[G]iable to turn and b[A]ite
But stand cl[D]ose by B[F#m]ette Da[G]vis
Because he[A]rs was such a lonely l[D]ife
E[D]verybody's a dr[A]eamer and ev[G]erybody's a s[D]tar
And eve[F#m]rybody's in s[Bm]how biz, it doesn't m[G]atter who you a[A]re
And th[Bm]ose who are succ[F#m]essful
Be alw[G]ays on your gu[A]ard
Success wa[D]lks hand in [F#m]hand with f[G]ailure
Along Ho[A]llywood Boul[D]evard
(Refrain)
La la la la....
I w[C]ish my life was n[G]on-stop Hollywood mo[D]vie show
A f[C]antasy world of cel[G]luloid villains and he[D]roes
Because c[C]elluloid heroes ne[G]ver feel any pa[D]in
C G D (A Bm G D(5+A)?)
And celluloid heroes never really die
