G
A young man from a small town
C G
With a very large imagination
C G
Lay alone in his room with his radio on
D
Looking for another station
G
When the static from the mouthpiece
C G
Gave way to the sound below
C G
James Dean went out to Hollywood
D G
And put his picture in a Picture Show.
C G
James Dean went out to Hollywood
D G
And put his picture in a Picture Show.
Chorus:
