Celluloid Heroes

Biography:

The Kinks (1963–1996; 2018-present) is an English pop-rock group that came out of the British R&B scene of the early 1960s. Formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray Davies and Dave Davies in 1964 and categorised in the United States as a "British Invasion" band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era. In 1990, their first year of eligibility, the original four members were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

#1.
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,
C G
and if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
A D
their names are written in concrete.

#2.
D A G D
Don't tread 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 G A
But they turned her into a princess and they sat her on a throne,
C G A D
but she turned her back on stardom, because she wanted to be alone.

CHORUS:
C G D
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard.
C G D
Some that you recognise, 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.

#3.
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 G A
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi, cause he's liable to turn and bite.
C G A D
But stand close by Bette Davis, because hers was such a lonely life.

CHORUS:
C G D
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard.
C G D
Some that you recognise, 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.

#4.
D A G D
If you covered him with garbage, George Sanders would still have style.
F#m Bm G A
And if you stomped on Mickey Rooney, he would still turn round and smile.
Bm F#m G A
But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn, cause she's not very tough.
D G
She should have been made of iron or steel,
A D
but she was only made of flesh and blood.

#5.
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 G A
And those who are successful, be always on your guard.
D G
Success walks hand in hand with failure,
A D
along Hollywood Boulevard.

CHORUS:
C G D
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard.
C G D
Some that you recognise, 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.

#6.
C G 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
and celluloid heroes never really die.

CHORUS:
C G D
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard.
C G D
Some that you recognise, 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.

#7.
C G D
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
C G D
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
C G D
Oh, celluloid heroes never feel any pain,
C G D
Oh, celluloid heroes never really die.

#8.
C G 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
and celluloid heroes never really die.
