      C/B        Am   D7/F#
Tonya Harding, my star

          F       C
Well this world is a cold one

       C/B         D7/F#
But it takes one to know one

    F     C          C/B         C
And God only knows what you are

          C/B             Am   D7/F#
Just some Portland white trash

       F         C
You confronted your sorrow

           C/B     D7/F#
Like there was no tomorrow

          F        C          C/B      C
While the rest of the world only laughed

       C/B     Am   D7/F#
Triple axel on high

    F        C
A delightful disaster

           C/B         D7/F#
You jumped farther and faster

         F        C         C/B      C
You were always so full of surprises

         C/B      Am   D7/F#
Are your laces untied?

              F          C
What's the frown on your face for?

         C/B          D7/F#
And just what are the skates for now?

F    C             C/B      C
Tell me which is your good side?

        C/B         Am   D7/F#
Are you lonely at night?

       F         C
Do you miss all the glory

        C/B        D7/F#
And the mythical story

F    C           C/B      C
Of the Olympian life?

    C/B         Am   D7/F#
Yamaguchi in red

        F          C
She had high rise and roses

        C/B   D7/F#
And red-carpet poses

F    C           C/B      C
And her outfit was splendid

      C/B            Am   D7/F#
Nancy Kerrigan's charm

         F            C
Well she took quite a beating

            C/B           D7/F#
So you're not above cheating

F    C               C/B      C
Can you blame her for crying?

       C/B            Am   D7/F#
Tonya, you were the brightest

         F          C
Yeah you rose from the ashes

       C/B           D7/F#
And survived all the crashes

F       C               C/B         C
Wiping the blood from your white tights

        C/B            Am   D7/F#
Has the world had its fun?

                F          C
Yeah they'll make such a hassle

               C/B          D7/F#
And they'll build you a castle

F       C               C/B         C
Then destroy it when they're done

       C/B          Am   D7/F#
Tonya Harding, my friend

            F         C
Well this world is a bitch, girl

             C/B        D7/F#
Don't end up in a ditch, girl

           F        C            C/B         C
I'll be watching you close to the end

         C/B      Am   D7/F#
So fight on as you are

     F         C
My American princess

           C/B           D7/F#
May God bless you with incense

             F      C      C/B
You're my shining American star

   F       C     Am  D7/F#
Shining American star

   F  C/B     C
Shining American star
