Hollywood Seven

         Em                      
She came in one night from Omaha, 
      C                            
worn out... she never could sleep 
   Em
on trains.
                           C       
Took the bus to Hollywood,   
                            Em
lookin' for a room in the pourin' 
rain.
     F                        
With hair so blond and eyes so 
        Dm
brown,   she thought she'd take this
 town
            Bsus2  B
and turn it upside down.


[Verse 2]
              Em                   
And me, I was livin' in a hotel 
      C                            
just off Sunset, she moved in 
   Em
across the hall.
She said she'd be a movie star and 
C                         Em
waited every mornin' for a call.
     F                          
So I asked her in just to have a 
              Dm
little drink   but she hardly had 
the time.
    Bsus2                          
Her call might come tomorrow, she's
 B
 got to learn her lines.


[Chorus]
   Em               G             
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent 
          A               Em
'til your name goes up in lights.
    C                          
Oh, Hollywood Seven, dream your 
           Bsus2  B       Em
dream for seven  bucks a night.


[Verse 3]
             Em                    
And then the months went by without
            C                      
 a job, the money that she saved 
         Em
was nearly spent.

And so she started bringing 
                    C              
strangers home just tryin' to find 
                 Em
a way to pay the rent.
          F                    
And she'd sit down and drink my 
             Dm
coffee, got nothin' much to say.
     Bsus2                       
Just busy rehearsin' in her mind, 
     B
the scene she'd never play.


[Chorus]
   Em               G             
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent 
          A               Em
'til your name goes up in lights.
      C                          
Whoa, Hollywood Seven, dream your 
            Bsus4  B       Em
dreams for seven  bucks a night.

[Verse 4]
  Gm                               
I found her there one mornin'; she 
Eb                          
didn't come for coffee when I 
  Gm
called.
               Gm
She'd gone and brought the wrong one
 home this time,
           Eb                     
there were   crazy lipstick marks   
Gm
all o'er the walls.
          Ab                      
Now she's goin' back to Omaha but 
Fm
not the way she planned,
           Dsus4                   
there will be no crowd to cheer her
        D
 on, no welcome home, no band.


[Chorus]
   Gm               Bb            
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent,
           C               Gm
 'til your name goes up in lights.
Eb                                
Hollywood Seven, dream your dream 
    Dsus4  D       Gm
for seven  bucks a night.


[Verse 5]
         Gm                        
She came in one night from 
  Eb                           Gm
Syracuse,   tired from sleeping on 
the plane.
Gm                       Eb      
Took a cab to Hollywood, dreaming
               Gm
 of the lights    that would spell 
her name.
     Ab                            
So I watched her take a lease on 
        Fm
the empty room across the hall.
Dsus4                    D
Wakin' up every mornin', waiting for
 that call.


[Chorus]
   Gm               Bb            
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent,
           C       Gm
 'til your    name      goes up in 
lights.
Eb                           
Hollywood Seven, dreamin' your 
         Dsus4  D       Gm
dream, seven  bucks a night.


[Chorus]
Am               C               
Hollywood Seven, dreams to rent, 
          D               Am
till your name goes up in lights.
F                               E
Hollywood Seven, pay your dues,  
       Am
               ... seven bucks a 
night.
