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

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