When Canyons Ruled The City

after bass): [D] [A] [E] x2

[E]Laurel was a girl I knew, made of dirt and stone
[F#m]Pretty hip in younger years, but now she sits alone
With a [A]hundred thousand architectural disasters that
She calls[E] homes
[E]Beverly Glen was pretty, all the rich boys loved her curves
She [F#m]tried to get the credit, sometimes more than she deserved
Like those[A] cheesy 80's movies, epitomizing all things
We'd come to[E] know

[E]Beachwood was a boheme from the sexy 60's scene
[F#m]Grew up east of west Hollywood and somewhere in between
All the [A]madness Laurel puts up with,
But somehow always tolerates[E] a scene
[E]Nicols, he had a way with the performing arts
A&[F#m]R guys having cookouts on his back with super stars
But he [A]had some nasty habits and some potholes to
Cover up this dram[E]a queen

[E]Sometimes Beachwood yelled at Laurel over terms of selling out
[F#m]Then Laurel yelled at Beverly for not knowing what life's about
With her [A]trust fund friends and family, it felt like an earthquake
When she'd[E] shout
And [E]Silverlake just stood there, with her nose up in the air
Pushing [F#m]up her horn rimmed glasses saying,
"I don't fucking care about the[A] madness all you idiots are buying,
Selling and [E]leasing up there"

[E]San Fernando was a struggling actor who drove a deli truck
On the [F#m]sets of porno movies, he was just trying to make a buck
While his [A]pilot was in escrow, he dreamed of
Dating Beverly one [E]day
