Title:
“Sunset Boulevard”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
C G
Walking down the Sunset Boulevard,
Am E
Underneath the sky of falling stars,
C G
Dreaming of a life beyond the bars,
Am E
With a guitar strapped on my shoulder hard.
(Chorus)
F G
Hey, it’s the Sunset Boulevard,
C Am
Where dreams are made and hearts are scarred,
F G
We’re playing songs on our old guitars,
C Am
Underneath the fading city stars.
(Verse 2)
C G
Drinks are cheap and life’s a card,
Am E
In the hustle of Sunset Boulevard,
C G
In every dive bar, every yard,
Am E
We’re singing songs, throwing the aces hard.
(Chorus)
F G
Hey, it’s the Sunset Boulevard,
C Am
Where dreams are made and hearts are scarred,
F G
We’re playing songs on our old guitars,
C Am
Underneath the fading city stars.
(Outro)
F G
On the Sunset Boulevard, we’re rockstar,
C Am
Living life loud under the city stars.
