The Only Time It Rains In Hollywood Chords - Red Leather

Intro

Am Dm F E7

Verse 1

Am Dm I saw a man without his shoes F On the corner drinking booze E7 He was screamin' "Life ain't fair" Am C And he said his name was Pete F Asked him why he's on the street? E7 He looked down with such despair Am7 Dm He told me "Back when I was 21, I had a wife, a job, a son F E7 I remember when life was so sweet Am But then I started gamblin' C I lost my house, my wife, my kid F E7 Ever since can't get back on my feet Dm E7 So learn from my mistakes before it's too late"

Chorus

Am Dm The only time it rains in Hollywood F E7 Is when somebody cries Am C People come out here to chase their dreams Dm But dreams come here to die E7 Am D F Where the dreams come to die E7 Am Where the dreams come to die

Verse 2

Am Dm Walkin' Hollywood and Vine F Saw a woman with a sign E7 Asked me could I spare some change? Am C She had tombstones in her eyes Dm As I caught her by surprise E7 Asked her why the long face? Am And she said "Back when I was just 18 D Had dreams of the silver screen F E7 Left Detroit to be a movie star Am And I had a taste of fame C That was until I met cocaine F E7 Now I sleep on Sunset Boulevard Dm E7 So learn from my mistakes before it's too late"

Chorus

Am Dm The only time it rains in Hollywood F E7 Is when somebody cries Am C People come out here to chase their dreams Dm E7 But dreams come here to die Am Dm The only time it rains in Hollywood F E7 Is when somebody cries Am C People come out here to chase their dreams Dm But dreams come here to die E7 Am Where the dreams come to die

Interlude

Dm F E7 Am C Dm E7

Verse 3

Am Dm I heard a kid playin' guitar F Singin' out his broken heart E7 He wore a hat to hide his face Am C And Lord knows that times are hard F I threw some money in his jar E7 'Cause I loved the way he played Am And he said "I been singin' seven years Dm And every night I shed a tear F E7 'Cause I don't know if anybody cares Am About the music that I write C 'Cause it's the story of my life Dm E7 One day I will be a millionaire"
