Hollywood Years Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F]

[Verse 1]
[G]When I came to California
With a guitar around my knee
And a [F]U -Haul full of furniture
Little dreams of what I could be
[C]Deep from the West
with a song in my chest
[Csus2]And a foolish smile on my face[C][Csus2]
[C]An [G]innocent rube soon
[C]gone [Csus2]for good
That a [F]darker muse would replace
With a [Dm]song [C]of [Dm]sor r[G]ow
and a [Bb]trail of [Am]tears
And a [Dm]dream [C]I f[Dm]ollowed
[G]through the Hol[Bb]lywood yea[Am]rs[G]
Well I hit the streets with
my sack of sweets
And I peddled them at the store
But it [F]didn't take very long to see
The gargoyles guarding the door
To the [C]perfume garden
any fool could tell
[Csus2]It was all happening over the wall
[C]So [Csus2]I dressed[C] in[G]
black to [C]mourn [Csus2]the fact
I was [F]headed straight for a fall
With a [Dm]song [C]of [Dm]sor r[G]ow
And a [Bb]trail of [Am]tears
And a [Dm]dream [C]I f[Dm]ollowed[G]
Through the [Bb]Hollywood [Am]years[G][Am]
Pull the strap down off your shoulder
Guard your heart [G]and be a sol[Am]dier
[F]You'll be dead if you get colder,
girl
[E]You're getting [Dm]older[G][Am][G]
Rumbling sound,
we were thrown to the ground
When the scales hit 6 .1
[F]Left no doubt it was time to get out
But there was no place left to run
[G]Out[C] of cash, Hollywood trash
[Csus2]Up to the[C] edge of the shore[Csus2][G]
Pack my bag and [C]raise the white flag
I just [F]couldn't buy it anymore
To the [Dm]song [C]of [Dm]sor r[G]ow,
the [Bb]trail of [Am]tears,
and the [Dm]dream [C]I f[Dm]ollow[G]
Through the [Bb]Hollywood
[Am]years[G][F]
[G][F][G][F]
[G]When [C]I cam[G]e to California
With a guitar on my [F]knee[G][F]
[G]Yeah. [F]Yea[G]h.[C][G]
[C]Yea[G]h.[F][C][G]
[G]
[F]Thank [G]you [F]for . . . .
