Hollywood Seven Chords by Jon English

[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ [Em] She came in one night from [C] Omaha, walled out,
[Em] cause she never could sleep on trains. _ _
_ _ _ _ She took the bus to Hollywood,
_ [C] looking [G] for a room in the [Em] port and rain. _
_ _ _ _ [F] With her hair so blonde and her eyes so brown,
[Dm] she thought she'd take this town and [E] turn it upside [B] down.
_ _ _ Well, [Em] I was living in a hotel just [C] off Sunset,
she moved in across [Em] the hall.
_ _ _ _ _ _ And she said she'd be a movie [D] star
[C] and waited every morning [Em] for the call. _ _ _ _ _
[F] So I asked her in to share a drink,
[Dm] but she hardly had the time.
[B] And the call might come tomorrow,
she had to learn her language.
[Em] And on Hollywood 7,
[G] rooms to rent till [A] your name goes up [Em] in lights. _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Oh, Hollywood 7,
you can dream your [B] dreams for seven [Em] bucks a night.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Well, the months went by without a job,
[C] the money that she saved was nearly [Em] spent.
_ _ _ _ _ So she started bringing strangers [C] home,
trying to find a way to [Em] pay the rent. _ _ _ _ _
[F] Well, she'd sit down and drink my coffee
[Dm] with nothing much to say.
[B] Just busy rehearsing in her mind
the scene she'd never play.
[Em] On Hollywood [G] 7,
rooms to rent till [A] your name goes up [Em] in lights.
_ _ _ _ _ Oh, [C] Hollywood 7,
you can dream your [B] dreams for seven [Em] bucks a night.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Gm] Well, I found another way,
[Eb] she didn't come for coffee [Gm] when I called.
_ _ _ _ _ She got and brought the wrong one home this [Eb] time,
they _ _ were on [Gm] the wall. _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] Now she's going back to [Fm] Omaha,
but not the way she planned.
[Dm] There'll be no crowd to [D] cheer her on,
no welcome home, no.
[Gm] Hollywood [Bb] 7,
rooms to rent till [C] your name goes up [Am] in [Bb] lights.
[C] _ [Eb] Oh, Hollywood 7,
you can dream your dreams [D] for seven [G] bucks a night. _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] She came in one night from [Eb] Syracuse,
excited from her first [Gm] time on a plane. _ _ _ _ _
_ She took a cab to Hollywood,
[Eb] dreaming [Gm] of the lights that would spell her name. _ _ _
_ So [Ab] I watched her take a lease on the [Fm] empty room across the hall.
[Dm] So wake up in the [D] morning,
just waiting for that [Gm] call.
Hollywood [Bb] 7,
rooms to [C] rent till your name goes up [G] in lights. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] Oh, Hollywood 7,
you can dream your dreams [D] for seven bucks [Gm] a night.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
[Am] Hollywood [C] 7,
rooms to rent [D] till your name goes [A] up [B] in [C] lights.
[F] Oh, Hollywood 7,
you can pay your [E] dues for seven [A] bucks a night. _ _ _ _ _ _
