Am Well it's raining it's pouring, you didn't bring a sweater Am D7/F# E F#7 Gm Abm Nebraska'll never let you come back home Am Hollywood and Vine by the Thrifty Mart sign D7/F# E F#7 Gm Abm any night I'll be willin' to bet Am There's a young girl with sweet little dreams and pretty blue wishes D/F# E Am standin' there just gettin' all wet Am And there's a place off the drag called the Gilbert Hotel D7/F# E F#7 Gm Abm and there's a couple letters burned out in the sign Am And it's better than a bus stop they do good business every time it rains for little girls with nothing in their jeans D7/F# E Am but pretty blue wishes and sweet little jeans Am And it's raining it's pouring, the old man is snoring Now I lay me down to sleep I hear the sirens in the street All my dreams are made of chrome D7/F# E F#7 Gm Abm I have no way to get back home Am I'd rather die before I wake D7/F# like Marilyn Monroe Am and you could throw my dreams out in the street D7/F# E Am and let the rain make 'em grow (Solo) Am Now the night clerk he got a club foot He's heard every hard luck story D7/F# E F#7 Gm Abm at least a hundred times or more Am He says: Check out time is 10 a.m. and that's just what it means Go on up the stairs D7/F# E Am with sweet little wishes and pretty blue dreams Am D7/F# And it's raining it's pouring and Hollywood's just fine Am Swindle a little girl out of her dreams E F#7 Gm Abm another letter in the sign Am Now never trust a scarecrow wearin' shades after dark D7/F# be careful of that old bow tie he wears It takes a sweet little bullet from a pretty blue gun D7/F# E Am to put those scarlet ribbons in your hair (Solo) Am No, that ain't no cherry bomb D/F# 4th of July's all done Just some fool playin' that second line D7/F# E Am from the barrel of a pretty blue gun Am No, that ain't no cherry bomb D/F# 4th of July's all done Just some fool playin' that second line D7/F# E Am from the barrel of a pretty blue gun
