Tonya Harding Guitar Chords Sufjan Stevens

[Intro]
C

[Verse]
C        G          C
Tonya Harding, my star
F          Am         G
Well this world is a cold one
        Em         F
But it takes one to know one
    C          G             F
And God only knows what you are

C           G              C
Just some Portland white trash
F     Am             C
You confronted your sorrow
           Em      F
Like there was no tomorrow
           Am           G          F
While the rest of the world only laughed

C      G        C
Triple axel on high
F   Am         G
A delightful disaster
            Em         F
You jumped farther and faster
          Am        G        F
You were always so full of surprises

C          G   C
Are your laces untied?
F                          C
What’s the frown on your face for?
          Em           Am
And just what are the skates for now?
           G          Am
Tell me which is your good side?

C         G         C
Are you lonely at night?
F       Am           G
Do you miss all the glory
           Em    F
And the mythical story
Am       G        F
Of the Olympian life?

[Verse]
C   G         C
Yamaguchi in red
F         C
She had high rise and roses
                F
And red-carpet poses
 C        G          F
And her outfit was splendid
C       G         C
Nancy Kerrigan’s charm
F        C              G
Well she took quite a beating
                      F
So you’re not above cheating
C         G             F
Can you blame her for crying?

C       G             C
Tonya, you were the brightest
F         C
Yeah you rose from the ashes
                       F
And survived all the crashes
C           G                F
Wiping the blood from your white tights

C         G            C
Has the world had its fun?
F             Am           G
Yeah they’ll make such a hassle
                           F
And they’ll build you a castle
          G                   F
Then destroy it when they’re done

F         C
Tonya Harding, my friend
F                     C
Well this world is a bitch, girl
Em                Am
Don’t end up in a ditch, girl
                 D    C            D
I’ll be watching you close to the end
C        G           C
So fight on as you are
F      Am     G
My American princess
    Em                  Am
May God bless you with incense
                    G        F
You’re my shining American star
