Lynn Miles - Sunset Boulevard
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO:   Em    C9    B7(4x)
There's Emlithium in the sunset
There's C9rats in the trees
And the B7temperature is always
EmSeventy-six degrees
When the mighty fall here
They C9fall real hard
And the B7Marlboro Man is watching them
On Sunset EmBoulevard C9  B7  
I Emcannot get a breath
I C9cannot get a break
I can B7taste the desperation
'Cause the Emdeal is at stake
For every nip and tuck
There is a C9vicious little scar
And the B7Marlboro Man is peering down
On Sunset EmBoulevard C9  B7  
Be Emcareful how you talk to her
She might C9be someone you need
And it's B7such an easy leap
From sinEmcerity to greed
Now everybody's waiting
Just to C9see the next card
And the B7Marlboro Man is smokin' 
Down on Sunset EmBoulevard
CHORUS:
There's a Cbody on the beach
And it Gdoesn't make the news
It's Csweeps month here
And noB7body wants to lose
He Cdidn't have connections
Didn't Geven own a car
So Cit ain't worth reporting 
'Cause he's B7not a superstar, yeah EmyeahC9  B7  
You Emcannot be too rich
You C9cannot be too thin
Don't bother B7entering the fray
Unless you're Emcertain you can win
Take a look around you, baby
Every C9blade of grass is charred
And the B7Marlboro Man is laughing
On Sunset EmBoulevard C9  B7  
EmGrooming is everything
And your C9car is your purse
Don't B7give the right of way
Even Emif it's a hearse
Forget about that loser
'Cause C9he ain't going far
Anyway, the B7Marlboro Man is waiting for you
Down on Sunset EmBoulevard
CHORUS:
There's a Cbody on the beach
And it Gdoesn't make the news
It's Csweeps month here
And noB7body wants to lose
He Cdidn't have connections
Didn't Geven own a car
So Cit ain't worth reporting 
'Cause he's B7not a superstar, yeah EmyeahC9  B7  
The horses are Emchompin' at their bits
The C9dam is gonna burst
The B7ground is gonna rumble
And the Emsun is a curse
So don't look too excited
But never B7let down your guard
'Cause the Marlboro Man is watching you
Down on Sunset EmBoulevard C9  B7

Lynn Miles - Sunset Boulevard

CAPO: 5th Fret

Em C9 B7

INTRO: (4x)

There's lithium in the sunset

There's rats in the trees

And the temperature is always

Seventy-six degrees

When the mighty fall here

They fall real hard

And the Marlboro Man is watching them

Em C9 B7

On Sunset Boulevard

I cannot get a breath

I cannot get a break

I can taste the desperation

'Cause the deal is at stake

For every nip and tuck

There is a vicious little scar

And the Marlboro Man is peering down

Em C9 B7

On Sunset Boulevard

Be careful how you talk to her

She might be someone you need

And it's such an easy leap

From sincerity to greed

Now everybody's waiting

Just to see the next card

And the Marlboro Man is smokin'

Down on Sunset Boulevard

CHORUS:

There's a body on the beach

And it doesn't make the news

It's sweeps month here

And nobody wants to lose

He didn't have connections

Didn't even own a car

So it ain't worth reporting

B7 Em C9 B7

'Cause he's not a superstar, yeah yeah

You cannot be too rich

You cannot be too thin

Don't bother entering the fray

Unless you're certain you can win

Take a look around you, baby

Every blade of grass is charred

And the Marlboro Man is laughing

Em C9 B7

On Sunset Boulevard

Grooming is everything

And your car is your purse

Don't give the right of way

Even if it's a hearse

Forget about that loser

'Cause he ain't going far

Anyway, the Marlboro Man is waiting for you

Down on Sunset Boulevard

CHORUS:

There's a body on the beach

And it doesn't make the news

It's sweeps month here

And nobody wants to lose

He didn't have connections

Didn't even own a car

So it ain't worth reporting

B7 Em C9 B7

'Cause he's not a superstar, yeah yeah

The horses are chompin' at their bits

The dam is gonna burst

The ground is gonna rumble

And the sun is a curse

So don't look too excited

But never let down your guard

'Cause the Marlboro Man is watching you

Em C9 B7

Down on Sunset Boulevard
