INTRO
| Am | Dm/F | Gsus4 | C/E | 
| F | Dm6 | B | Esus4 E |
                      ACTION!

| G | Bm | F | C   C/B Am |


VERSE
G                   Bm 
 I had a dream on a back lot
F                     C         C/B  Am
 I saw my life like a long shot
G                      Bm 
 I smile at faces in a picture parade
F                           C                 C/B  Am
 Of all the stills from the films that you've made
G                           Bm 
 That we would see in the Essoldo
F                            C/E F C/G G
After drinking coffee at the Gi- o-con-do


CHORUS
Am         Dm/F         
Elstree, remember me? 
Gsus4         G/F  C/E
 I had a part in a B movie 
F                    Dm6      | B | E |
 I played a man from history
Am          Dm/F
Elstree, ah look at me (Oh-o-oh)
Gsus4       G/F     C/E
 Now I work for the BBC (Oh-o-oh)
F                    Dm6         | B | E E/D E/C E/B |
 Life is not what it used to be


VERSE
G                       Bm 
 I took no dives in the fight scene
F                          C          C/B  Am
 I had a stuntman, keep my suit clean
G                         Bm 
 There’s no technology to fake-up a song
F                           C/E F   C/G G
 They stop the orchestra if you get it  wrong


CHORUS
Am         Dm/F         
Elstree, remember me? 
Gsus4         G/F  C/E
 I had a part in a B movie
F                    Dm6     | B | E |
 I played a man from history
Am          Dm/F
Elstree, ah look at me (Oh-o-oh)
Gsus4       G/F     C/E
 Now I work for the BBC (Oh-o-oh)
F                    Dm6         | B | E | B | E E/D E/C E/B | Am
 Life is not what it used to be                             Elstree ...

VERSE
G                         Bm 
 They made a field into a war zone
F                    C      C/B  Am
 I beat the enemy on my own
G                          Bm 
 All the bullets just went over my head
F                       C/E F   C/G  G break | % |
 There’s no reality and no  one dead in
