The Greatest Star Of All Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C#]Once, you [A]won't reme[Db]mber
If you said Hollywood hers
was the face [Dbaug]you'd thi[Ab]nk of
Her [Db]face [A]on every [Db]billboard
In just a single week she'd get
ten [C#aug]thousand [Ab]letters
[B]Men would of[A]fer for[G]tunes
[C]for a bloom from her [G]corsage
Or a few strands [D]of her [G]hair[Ab]
[Abaug]Today, sh[A]e's hal[C#]f forgotte[Gbm]n,[A]
[Db]But it's the pictures that got her.
[Ebdim]She is the great[Absus4]est star o[Ab]f all.[C#]
[D]Then you [Gm]can't [D]imagine
how fans would sacrifice themselves
[Daug]to touch[D] her shadow.[A]
There [D]was [Daug]a Maharaja[Gm]
[D]who hanged himself
with one [Daug]of her discarded [D]stocki[A]ngs.
[C]She's immor[Bb]tal!
[Ab]Caught inside [C#]that flickering [Ab]light beam
Is a [Ebsus4]youth which [Eb]can not f[Ab]ade!
[Ebdim]La Madame, [Eb]la lé[D]ge[Bb]nde[Daug][D]
J 'ai vu [Daug]tellement d [D]'idoles tomber.
[Bb]She [Eb]is th[G]e g[Bb]reat[G]est
[Ab]star [A]of [D]all.[Daug]
[D][G][D]
[G]When [D]he'd gone,
I stood look[G]ing out the window [D]for a while.[G]
It was a ghost of a tennis court
with faded markings [C]and a sagging net.
It was an empty pool
[G]where Clara Bow and [F]Fatty Arbuckle
must have swum ten
[Bb]thousand midnights a[D]go.
then there was something else.
[G]
And Chimp's last rites.
[D]As if she were laying a child
[G]to rest.
Was her [Cm]life really as empty
as [G]that?[F][Fsus4]
[F]No![Cm][G]
