Denny was working it real hard

Down Sunset Boule-vard
        G/B      C       D
Back in nineteen seventy three
             G            A
Why would he bother going home

His parents left him on his own
    Em7
Who knows
      Asus                  A
Maybe they were out getting stoned

I don't really know
    Cadd9           G
How we survived the glitter years
D           D/C#
What did we do it all for

We were the lost and lonely ones

We hid in the discotheques all night long

'Til we could see the morning sun
          G                    A
Denny was king...he'd rock the place

Outer space

Dance his life away

Do you remember the glitter years

  In December of '74    Denny wrecked
             G
His father's car
        Em7                    Asus     A
Driving home that night he was singing (singing)
