Release the Stars by Rufus Wainwright 
!!Capo on First Fret!!
G          Am7            G
Why do you keep all your stars in 
           Am7      Cm         G
From your studio on Melrose Avenue?
          Am7            G
You have locked all your assets up
   Am7      Cm            G
In lifelong contracts to you.
            A7        G   B7           Em       B7
Didn't you know that old Hollywood is over?
G             Am7         G
Oh, can't you see all the good that 
   Am7        Cm                   G
Celebrity can do for those in the dark?
       Am7           G
Yes of course, I am speaking in 
    Am7                Cm             G
Metaphor for something more in your heart.
            A7       G    B7          Em       B7
Didn't you know that old Hollywood is over?
                 G                             C
So why not just release the gates and let them all come out?
                  G                          C
Remember that without them there would be no Paramount

                    (maj7)                    
No paramount need to ho-o-old  on to what isn't yours

Release the stars
    G              C               G
The more that you fight, then the more they will 
 C             Cm                G
Scrutinize and realize just your size.
    C                   G
And believe me, you are no match 
        C               Cm                       G
For the public that has seen the whites of your eyes
           A7         G   B7          Em     B7
Didn't you know that old Hollywood is over?
F   B7           Em    B7
Old Hollywood is over
                G                              Am7
So why not just release the gates and let them all come out?
                  G                          Bm
Remember that without them there would be no Paramount
