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

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