Levon

Elton John

 CFC
 Levon wears his war wound like a crown.
 FC
 He calls his child Jesus
 GAm
 `Cause he likes the name
 Em7FDm7
And he sends him to the finest school in town

 CFC
And Levon, Levon likes his money
 FC
 He makes a lot they say
 GAm
 Spend his days counting
 Em7FDm7
In a garage by the motorway

 Em7AmF
 He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
 CDm7C
When the New York Times said God is dead and the war's begun
 FCDm7
 Alvin Tostig has a son today

 CFC
And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
 FC
And he shall be Levon in tradition with the family plan
 FC
And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
 FCG
 He shall be Levon

 CFC
 Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
 FC
 His family business thrives
 GAm
 Jesus blows up balloons all day
 Em7FDm7
Sits on the porch swing watching them fly

 CFC
 And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
 FC
 Leaving Levon far behind
 GAm
 Take a balloon and go sailing
 Em7FDm7
While Levon, Levon slowly dies

It's actually in F but I, and many, can't sing that high. Transpose it if you wish at http://logue.net/xp/
This is way better than that annoying version that is friggin' everywhere. Thanks also
