[Verse 1]
Em C Em
She came in one night from Omaha, worn out cause she never could sleep on trains.
C Em
Took the bus to Hollywood, lookin' for a room in the pourin' rain.
F Dm
With hair so blond and eyes so brown, she thought she'd take
Bsus2 B
this town and turn it upside down.
[Verse 2]
Em C Em
I was livin' in a hotel just off Sunset, she moved in across the hall.
C Em
She said she'd be a movie star and waited every mornin' for a call.
F Dm
So I asked her in just to have a little drink but she hardly had the time.
Bsus2 B
Her call might come tomorrow, she's got to learn her lines.
[Chorus]
Em G A Em
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent 'til your name goes up in lights.
C Bsus2 B Em
Hollywood Seven you can dream your dreams for seven bucks a night.
[Verse 3]
Em C Em
Now the months went by without a job, the money that she saved was nearly spent.
C Em
So she started bringing strangers home just tryin' to find a way to pay the rent.
F Dm
She'd sit down and drink my coffee, got nothin' much to say.
Bsus2 B
Just busy rehearsin' in her mind, the scene she'd never play.
[Chorus]
Em G A Em
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent 'til your name goes up in lights.
C Bsus2 B Em
Hollywood Seven you can dream your dreams for seven bucks a night.
[Verse 4]
Gm D# Gm
I found her there one mornin' when she didn't come for coffee when I called.
Gm
She'd gone and brought the wrong one home this time,
D# Gm
there were crazy lipstick marks all o'er the walls.
Ab Fm
Now she's goin' back to Omaha but not the way she planned,
Dsus4 D
there will be no crowd to cheer her on, no welcome home, no band.
[Chorus]
Gm Bb C Gm
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent, 'til your name goes up in lights.
D# Dsus4 D Gm
Hollywood Seven you can dream your dreams for seven bucks a night.
[Verse 5]
Gm D# Gm
She came in one night from Syracuse, tired from sleeping on the plane.
Gm D# Gm
Took a cab to Hollywood, dreaming of the lights that would spell her name.
Ab Fm
So much to take a lease out on the empty room across the hall.
Dsus4 D
Wakin' up every mornin', waiting for that call.
[Chorus]
Gm Bb C Gm
Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent, 'til your name goes up in lights.
D# Dsus4 D Gm
Hollywood Seven you can dream your dreams for seven bucks a night.
[Chorus]

Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent, till your name goes up in lights.
F# F7sus4 F Bbm
Hollywood Seven you can pay your dues for seven bucks a night.
