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


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


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


[Verse 3]
             Em                                C                               Em
And then the months went by without a job, the money that she saved was nearly spent.
                                                C                               Em
And so she started bringing strangers home just tryin' to find a way to pay the rent.
          F                                 Dm
And she'd sit down and drink my coffee, got nothin' much to say.
     Bsus2                            B
Just busy rehearsin' in her mind, the scene she'd never play.


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

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


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


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


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


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