Elton John – Its Tough To Be A God (Ukulele)

  C
I hardly think I'm qualified

   Fm
To come across all sanctified

  C                               Fm
I just don't cut it with the cherubim

C
There again, they're on their knees

Fm
Being worshipped is a breeze

      Db              Bbm          Fm   C
Which rather suits us in the inter-iiiiiim

     Fm
It's tough to be a god

            Db
Tread where mortals have not trod

   C                            Fm
Be deified when really you're a sham

      Eb          Ab
Be an object of devotion

       Eb         Ab
Be the subject of psalms

       F               Bbm
It's a rather touching notion

          F                   Bbm
All those prayers and those salaams

Gb
And who am I to bridle

       Fm
If I'm forced to be an idol

        Gb             Ab
If they say that I'm a god

              Bbm
That's what I am

C
What's more if we don't comply

Fm
With the locals' wishes

      C                          Fm
I can see us being sacrificed or stuffed

    C
So, let's be gods, the perks are great

Fm
El Dorado on a plate

Db             Bbm             Fm     C
Local feelings should not be rebuffed

     Fm
It's tough to be a god

But if you get the people's nod

           C                                        Fm   C  Fm
Count your blessings, keep them sweet, that's our advice

     Eb            Ab
Be a symbol of perfection

     Eb           Ab
Be a legend, be a cult

           F               Bbm
Take their praise, take a collection

       F            Bbm
As the multitudes exalt

      Gb
Don a supernatural habit

        Fm
We'd be crazy not to grab it

   Ebm             Ab           Gb    Ebm   Ab  Bb
So sign on two new gods for paradise, par - a - dise
