Idol
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Blue Moves
Cmaj7/A Bm7 Em Cm/F Bm7 E7
Cmaj7/A
He was a light star
Bm7
Tripping on a high wire
Abmaj7 Ebmaj7
Bulldog stubborn, born uneven
Eaug/B Bm-5+6/F
A classless creature, a man for all seasons
Cmaj7/A
But don't bet them
Bm7
They can't take him
To the very bottom
Abmaj7 Ebmaj7
Because they made him and they'll waste him
Eaug/B Bm-5+6/F
And I don't believe that I want to watch them
Cmaj7/A Bm7 Amaj7 Ebmaj7 Bm-5+6/F
Cmaj7/A G C D
`Cause the fifties shifted out of gear
D7 G C/A G7/B
He was an idol then, now he's an idol here
C D/C D/B Emsus4+5
But his face has changed, he's not the same no more
A7 B7 Bm-5+6/E
And I have to say that I like the way his music sounded before
Cmaj7/A
He was tight-assed
Dmaj7/B
Walking on broken glass
Abmaj7 Ebmaj7
Highly prized in the wallet size
Eaug/B Bm-5+6/F
The number one crush in a schoolgirl's eyes
Cmaj7/A Dmaj7/B
But don't pretend that it won't end
In the depth of your despair
Abmaj7 Ebmaj7
You went from lame suits right down to tennis shoes
Eaug/B Bm-5+6/F
To peanuts from the lion's share
Cmaj7/A Bm7 Amaj7 Ebmaj7 Eaug/B Bm-5+6/F
