Lynn Miles - Sunset Boulevard
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: Em C9 B7 (4x)
Em
There's lithium in the sunset
C9
There's rats in the trees
B7
And the temperature is always
Em
Seventy-six degrees
When the mighty fall here
C9
They fall real hard
B7
And the Marlboro Man is watching them
Em C9 B7
On Sunset Boulevard
Em
I cannot get a breath
C9
I cannot get a break
B7
I can taste the desperation
Em
'Cause the deal is at stake
For every nip and tuck
C9
There is a vicious little scar
B7
And the Marlboro Man is peering down
Em C9 B7
On Sunset Boulevard
Em
Be careful how you talk to her
C9
She might be someone you need
B7
And it's such an easy leap
Em
From sincerity to greed
Now everybody's waiting
C9
Just to see the next card
B7
And the Marlboro Man is smokin'
Em
Down on Sunset Boulevard
CHORUS:
C
There's a body on the beach
G
And it doesn't make the news
C
It's sweeps month here
B7
And nobody wants to lose
C
He didn't have connections
G
Didn't even own a car
C
So it ain't worth reporting
B7 Em C9 B7
'Cause he's not a superstar, yeah yeah
Em
You cannot be too rich
C9
You cannot be too thin
B7
Don't bother entering the fray
Em
Unless you're certain you can win
Take a look around you, baby
C9
Every blade of grass is charred
B7
And the Marlboro Man is laughing
Em C9 B7
On Sunset Boulevard
Em
Grooming is everything
C9
And your car is your purse
B7
Don't give the right of way
Em
Even if it's a hearse
Forget about that loser
C9
'Cause he ain't going far
B7
Anyway, the Marlboro Man is waiting for you
Em
Down on Sunset Boulevard
CHORUS:
C
There's a body on the beach
G
And it doesn't make the news
C
It's sweeps month here
B7
And nobody wants to lose
C
He didn't have connections
G
Didn't even own a car
C
So it ain't worth reporting
B7 Em C9 B7
'Cause he's not a superstar, yeah yeah
Em
The horses are chompin' at their bits
C9
The dam is gonna burst
B7
The ground is gonna rumble
Em
And the sun is a curse
So don't look too excited
B7
But never let down your guard
'Cause the Marlboro Man is watching you
Em C9 B7
Down on Sunset Boulevard
