Sunset Boulevard chords

CAPO: 5th Fret

INTRO: [Em] [C9] [B7] (4x)

There's [Em]lithium in the sunset
There's [C9]rats in the trees
And the [B7]temperature is always
[Em]Seventy-six degrees

When the mighty fall here
They [C9]fall real hard
And the [B7]Marlboro Man is watching them
On Sunset [Em]Boulevard [C9] [B7]

I [Em]cannot get a breath
I [C9]cannot get a break
I can [B7]taste the desperation
'Cause the [Em]deal is at stake

For every nip and tuck
There is a [C9]vicious little scar
And the [B7]Marlboro Man is peering down
On Sunset [Em]Boulevard [C9] [B7]

Be [Em]careful how you talk to her
She might [C9]be someone you need
And it's [B7]such an easy leap
From sin[Em]cerity to greed

Now everybody's waiting
Just to [C9]see the next card
And the [B7]Marlboro Man is smokin'
Down on Sunset [Em]Boulevard

[CHORUS]
There's a [C]body on the beach
And it [G]doesn't make the news
It's [C]sweeps month here
And no[B7]body wants to lose
He [C]didn't have connections
Didn't [G]even own a car
So [C]it ain't worth reporting
'Cause he's [B7]not a superstar, yeah [Em]yeah [C9] [B7]

You [Em]cannot be too rich
You [C9]cannot be too thin
Don't bother [B7]entering the fray
Unless you're [Em]certain you can win

Take a look around you, baby
Every [C9]blade of grass is charred
And the [B7]Marlboro Man is laughing
On Sunset [Em]Boulevard [C9] [B7]

[Em]Grooming is everything
And your [C9]car is your purse
Don't [B7]give the right of way
Even [Em]if it's a hearse

Forget about that loser
'Cause [C9]he ain't going far
Anyway, the [B7]Marlboro Man is waiting for you
Down on Sunset [Em]Boulevard

[CHORUS]
There's a [C]body on the beach
And it [G]doesn't make the news
It's [C]sweeps month here
And no[B7]body wants to lose
He [C]didn't have connections
Didn't [G]even own a car
So [C]it ain't worth reporting
'Cause he's [B7]not a superstar, yeah [Em]yeah [C9] [B7]

The horses are [Em]chompin' at their bits
The [C9]dam is gonna burst
The [B7]ground is gonna rumble
And the [Em]sun is a curse

So don't look too excited
But never [B7]let down your guard

'Cause the Marlboro Man is watching you
Down on Sunset [Em]Boulevard [C9] [B7]
