Intro: E  A  B  A G#m F#m B


E                    A          E
Springtime, and the acacias are blooming 

E            A           F#m          B
Southern California will see one more day 

E              A           E
Dreamland, and bus'ness is booming, 

    E           A          B        E      B
The birds are a singing as I drift away 


E          A           E
She looks another year older, 

E             A          F#m          B
From too many lovers who used her and ran 

E                        A             E
But some nights, oh, she looks like an angel 

    E            A          B        E      E7
And she's always willing to hold you again 


A                B
So give her this dance, 

    E           A
She can't be forsaken 

E            A             F#m        B
Learn how to love her with all of her faults 


E        A               E
She gave more than she's taken, 

    E            A         B         A     G#m F#m B
And I'll go down doing the Hollywood Waltz

E                  A       E
Springtime and the lady is grieving 

    E           A                F#m        B
The lovers just stand there with nothing to say 

     E              
They got what they wanted, 

        A           E
They're packing and leaving 

   E        A          B             E    E7
To look for another to love the same way 



A                B
So give her this dance, 

    E           A
She can't be forsaken 

E            A             F#m        B
Learn how to love her with all of her faults 


E        A               E
She gave more than she's taken, 

    E            A         B         A     G#m F#m
And I'll go down doing the Hollywood Waltz
