[Intro reciting]
C G
I remember when you were on the farm
F C
Dreaming about Andy Warhol
C G
Wo ho ho Getting felt up in the barn
F C
Wondering if that's moral
C Em E
But hey look at you now
E Am F
You've got everything that a girl could want
C G F F C Cadd2 C
You've got high heel slippers baby but that's all right
[Verse]
C Am Em C Am Em
Hollywood Hollywood
F G F G
You shaped my life with Technicolor carving knife and
Am Dm
Now I don't know what to feel
Am Dm F G
All my emotions are wrapped up reel..... to reel
C G
You know you turned me around stuck my face in the ground
F C
When I sat down on Garbo's sofa
C G
And I like some James Dean clown that you can make laugh
F C
or frown - I just want to know when it's over
[Chorus]
C Em E
But hey look at me now
Am F
you know just can't find nothing real
C G F F C Cadd2 C
And the movies are all outside baby but that's all right
[Verse]
C Am Em C Am Em
Hollywood Hollywood
F G F G
You gave me the best I got this Soundtrack of violence and sex and
Am Dm
Now I don't know who to be
Am Dm F
Cause every time I look in the mirror I see some movie star
F F F G
You know it just doesn't look like me
[Interlude]
C G F C C G F C E Am F C G F C Cadd2 C
[Outro]
C G F F C Cadd2 C
And us rebel's got too many causes, but that's all right
C G F F C Cadd2 C
And I can't find a happy ending, but that's all right
C G
And like Jimi said 'There just ain't no life nowhere"
F F C Cadd2 F C Cadd2 F C Cadd2 C
But that's all right
