VERSE 1:
[F#] She stood there bright as the sun on that
[B/F#] california coast
[E/F#] He was a midwestern boy on his
[F#] own
[F#] She looked at him with those soft eyes, so
[B/F#] innocent and blue
[E/F#] He knew right then he was too far from
[F#] home
BREAK:
[F#] Ooh
[B/F#], he was too far from
[E/B] home
[F#]
VERSE 2:
[F#] She took his hand and she led him a-
[B/F#]-long that golden beach
[E/F#] They watched the waves tumble over the
[F#] sand
[F#] They drove for miles and miles, up those
[B/F#] twisting turning roads
[E/F#] Higher and higher and higher they
[F#] climbed
CHORUS:
And those
[F#] hollywood nights; in those
[B/F#] hollywood hills
She was
[E/F#] looking so right; in her
[F#] diamonds and frills
All those
[F#] big city nights; in those
[B/F#] high rolling hills
A-
[E/F#]-bove all the lights; she had
[F#] all of the skills
INSTRUMENTAL: [E] [B] [F#] ^

VERSE 3:
[F#] He'd headed west 'cause he felt that a
[B/F#] change would do him good
[E/F#] See some old friends, good for the
[F#] soul
[F#] She had been born with a face that would
[B/F#] let her get her way
[E/F#] He saw that face and he lost all con-
[F#]-trol
BREAK:
[F#] Yeah
[B/F#] , he had lost all con-
[E/F#]-trol
[F#]
VERSE 4:
[F#] Night after night, day after day, it went
[B/F#] on and on
[E/F#] Then came that morning he woke up a-
[F#]-lone
[F#] He spent all night staring down at the lights of
[B/F#] L.A.
[E/F#] Wondering if he could ever go
[F#] home
REPEAT CHORUS: [x3]
