            Celluloid Heroes chords
The Kinks * 1972 Ray Davies (Everybody's in Show-Biz.)

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 stars in every city,
         G                  A
In every house and on every street,
           D7                  G
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
                        A      D
Their names are written in concrete!

D                   A            G                  D
Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the boulevard,
    F#m               Bm                     G              A
She looks so weak and fragile that's why she tried to be so hard
         Bm                F#m
But they turned her into a princess
         G            A
And they sat her on a throne,
        D7                 G
But she turned her back on stardom,
                      A    D
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.

D            A           G          D
Rudolph Valentino, looks very much alive,
       F#m              Bm              G              A
And he looks up ladies  dresses as they sadly pass him by.
      Bm                 F#m
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
         G                  A
cos he’s liable to turn and bite,
          D7             G
But stand close by Bette Davis
        A                      D
Because hers was such a lonely life.

D                       A           
If you covered him with garbage,
       G                        D
George Sanders would still have style,
           F#m               Bm              
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
         G                    A
He would still turn round and smile,
                 Bm               F#m
But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn
    G              A
cos she's not very tough,
    D7                       G
She should have been made of iron or steel,
            A                      D
But she was only made of flesh and blood.

        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.

D             A           G             D
Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
    F#m            Bm                   G              A
And everybody's in show biz, it doesn't matter who you are.
    Bm               F#m
And those who are successful,
   G              A
Be always on your guard,
        D7                      G
Success walks hand in hand with failure
      A              D
Along Hollywood Boulevard.

  C                  G                  D         Dsus4 D
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,
  C                G                      D  
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
  C                      G              D   
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
    C                G            D  Dsus4 D
And celluloid heroes never really die.

        C                        G                   D        Dsus4 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   Dsus4 D
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.

C G D  Dsus4 D  2x

   C                G              D
Oh celluloid heroes never feel any pain
   C                G            D
Oh celluloid heroes never really die.

  C                  G                  D         Dsus4 D
I wish my life was a non stop Hollywood movie show,
  C                G                      D  
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
        C                G              D  Dsus4 D 
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
    C                G            D  
And celluloid heroes never really die.
