[Verse]

G                                Cmaj7
Whatever happened to that bold visage?
Bm7                              Em
Weeping around in tinsel town at large
        G                              Cmaj7
Are you broken down at the boulevard garage?
   Bm7                      Em
Or just another Hollywood mirage?
  G                                     Cmaj7
A cast of a thousand spirits tell their tale
  Bm7                              Em
A cast of a million study their portrayals
G                          Cmaj7
Taking they come and go or stand
Bm7                             Em
Buried in the hills above movie land

[Chorus]

            Bm7             G
I've got to bear a likeness to the timeless
Am                      D
Leaving crumbs along my trail
Bm7        Em
Absolutely I'll salute you
Am
It's so hard to swallow
         F
You're a hard act to follow
Bbmaj7
Hard act to follow

[Verse 2]

G                               Cmaj7
Whatever happened to the golden song?
   Bm7                           Em
Of wartime widows and wasted vagabonds?
  G                                         Cmaj7
I turn the dial and hopes from a capsule of time
Bm7                              Em
Whatever happened to that simple line?

[Bridge]

Bm
Something about the moon and stars
    C
And promises and broken hearts
G
Little towns and city lights
Em
Soldier boys, civilian wives
G
Then the cars, prohibition laws
C
Please support to worthy cause
Bm                               Em
You love him and I love you and
    C
I'd love too

[Chorus]

Bm7             G
Bear a likeness to the timeless
Am                      D
Leaving crumbs along my trail
Bm7        Em
Absolutely I'll salute you
Am
It's so hard to swallow
         F
You're a hard act to follow
Bbmaj7
Hard act to follow
C
Oh

G                                Cmaj7
Whatever happened to that bold visage?
Bm7                              Em
Weeping around in tinsel town at large
        G                               Cmaj7
Are you broken down at the boulevard of dreams?
Bm7                               Em
Movie land is yours for a song it seems

[Chorus]

Bm7             G
Bear a likeness to the timeless
Am                      D
Leaving crumbs along my trail
Bm7        Em
Absolutely I'll salute you
Am
It's so hard to swallow
         F
You're a hard act to follow
Bbmaj7              Em
Hard act to follow
Am
It's so hard to swallow
         F                  Bm7  Em
You're a hard act to follow
Am
It's so hard to swallow
         F
You're a hard act to follow
Bbmaj7
Hard act to follow
Bm7
Oh
