It's Tough to Be a God Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I[Gm][D][Gm][D]
hardly
think I'm qualified
[Gm]To come across all sanctified
[D]I just don't cut it with the cherubim
[Gm](Tul[D]io, what are
you talking about?!)
There again, they're on their knees
[Gm]Being worshiped is a breeze
[Eb][Cm][C][Asus4][D]
[Gm]Which rather suits us [D]in[Gm]
[D]the[Gm] inte[Eb]rim
(Inter[Cm]im, interim It's me and [A]him)
Oh, [D]my God!
It's [Gm]tough to be a god!

[Verse 2]
Tread [Eb]where mortals have not trod
Be [D]deified when really you're [Gm]a sham
Be [F]an object of devo[Bb]tion
Be the [F]subject of [Bb]psalms
It's [G]a rather touching not[Cm]ion
All those [G]prayers and those
sa[Cm]laams
[Ab]And who am I to bridle
If I'm [G]forced to be an idol?
If they [Ab]say that I'm a god,
[G]that's what I [Cm]am!
[D]What's more, if

[Verse 3]
[Gm]we don't comply
[D]With the locals' wishes
I can see [Gm]us being [D]sacrificed
or [Gm]stuffed
(You have a point there, very
[Eb]good[Cm] thinking)
So, [A]let's be [D]gods the[Gm]
perks are [D]great (Yeah)
El Dorado on [Gm]a plate (Thank you!)
[D]Local feelings should not be rebuffed
Never rebuff, never [Gm]rebuff a
local feeling
No, my [Eb]friend!

[Verse 4]
[Cm]It's tough[A] to be[D] a[Gm] god
But if you [Eb]get the people's nod
Count your [D]blessings, keep 'em sweet,
that's our ad[Gm]vice
(It's great advice!)
Be a [F]symbol of perfec[Bb]tion
Be [F]a leg[Bb]end!
Be [G]a cult!
Take their praise, take a col[Cm]lection
[G]As [Cm]the multitu[Ab]des exalt
Don a supernat[G]ural habit
We'd be crazy not to grab
[Gm]it! (You got it!)
[Ab]So, sign on two [G]new god
s for para[Ab]dise
Par-a-dise!
[Bb]Par-a-dise!

[Outro 1]
[C]
[D]Par-a-dise![Gm][D]
