The story behind the song

"Hollywood Nights," released in 1978 on the album Stranger in Town, captures a vivid story born from Bob Seger's own experience. While driving in the Hollywood Hills, the chorus came to him, inspiring a narrative about a guy from the Midwest who gets caught up in the "bizarro" world of someone he meets there. Seger describes it as one of the closest songs to ever come to him in a dream, a high-energy tune about the allure and strangeness of Hollywood. Playing this song channels that feeling of being drawn into an unfamiliar, captivating scene.

[Intro]

E A D E

[Verse 1]

She stood there bright as the sun

On that California coast

D E

He was a Midwestern boy on his own

She looked at him with those soft eyes

So innocent and blue

D E

He knew right then he was too far from home

E A D E

He was too far from home

E A

She took his hand and she led him along that golden beach

D E

They watched the waves tumble over the sand

They drove for miles and miles

Up those twisting turning roads

D E

Higher and higher and higher they climbed

[Chorus]

And those Hollywood nights

In those Hollywood hills

She was looking so right

In her diamonds and frills

Oh those big city nights

In those high rolling hills

Above all the lights

She had all of her skills

He'd headed west cause he felt that a change would do him good

D E

See some old friends, good for the soul

She had been born with a face

That would let her get her way

D E

He saw that face and he lost all control

E A D E

He had lost all control

E A

Night after night, Day after day It went on and on

D E

Then came that morning he woke up alone

E A

He spent all night staring down at the lights on LA

D E

Wondering if he could ever go home

[Chorus]

And those Hollywood nights

In those Hollywood hills

She was looking so right

It was giving him chills

In those big city nights

In those high rolling hills

Above all the lights

With a passion that kills

And those Hollywood nights

In those Hollywood hills

She was looking so right

In her diamonds and frills

Oh those big city nights

In those high rolling hills

Above all the lights

She had all of her skills
