As recorded by Red Leather

Intro
Am Dm F E7
Verse 1
Am Dm
I saw a man without his shoes
F
On the corner drinking booze
E7
He was screamin' "Life ain't fair"
Am C
And he said his name was Pete
F
Asked him why he's on the street?
E7
He looked down with such despair
Am7 Dm
He told me "Back when I was 21, I had a wife, a job, a son
F E7
I remember when life was so sweet
Am
But then I started gamblin'
C
I lost my house, my wife, my kid
F E7
Ever since can't get back on my feet
Dm E7
So learn from my mistakes before it's too late"
Chorus
Am Dm
The only time it rains in Hollywood
F E7
Is when somebody cries
Am C
People come out here to chase their dreams
Dm
But dreams come here to die
E7 Am D F
Where the dreams come to die
E7 Am
Where the dreams come to die
Verse 2
Am Dm
Walkin' Hollywood and Vine
F
Saw a woman with a sign
E7
Asked me could I spare some change?
Am C
She had tombstones in her eyes
Dm
As I caught her by surprise
E7
Asked her why the long face?
Am
And she said "Back when I was just 18
D
Had dreams of the silver screen
F E7
Left Detroit to be a movie star
Am
And I had a taste of fame
C
That was until I met cocaine
F E7
Now I sleep on Sunset Boulevard
Dm E7
So learn from my mistakes before it's too late"
Chorus
Am Dm
The only time it rains in Hollywood
F E7
Is when somebody cries
Am C
People come out here to chase their dreams
Dm E7
But dreams come here to die
Am Dm
The only time it rains in Hollywood
F E7
Is when somebody cries
Am C
People come out here to chase their dreams
Dm
But dreams come here to die
E7 Am
Where the dreams come to die
Interlude

Dm E7
Verse 3
Am Dm
I heard a kid playin' guitar
F
Singin' out his broken heart
E7
He wore a hat to hide his face
Am C
And Lord knows that times are hard
F
I threw some money in his jar
E7
'Cause I loved the way he played
Am
And he said "I been singin' seven years
Dm
And every night I shed a tear
F E7
'Cause I don't know if anybody cares
Am
About the music that I write
C
'Cause it's the story of my life
Dm E7
One day I will be a millionaire"
