Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
D7   Gm   (x2)

Verse 1:
     D7
I hardly think I'm qualified
    Gm
To come across all sanctified
    D7                           Gm
I just don't cut it with the cherubim
  D7
There again they're on their knees
 Gm
Being worshipped is a breeze
 Eb           Cm7            A7     D7
Which rather suits us in the interim...

Chorus 1:
       Gm
It's tough to be a god
               Eb
Tread where mortals have not trod
      D7                         Gm
Be deified when really you're a sham
        F7          Bb
Be an object of devotion
          F7         Bb
Be the subject of psalms
          G7              Cm
It's a rather touching notion
             G7                 Cm
All those prayers and those salaams
     Ab                         G7
And who am I to bridle if I'm forced to be an idol?
         Ab              G7              Cm
If they say that I'm a god that's what I am!

Verse 2:
 D7                              Gm
What's more, if we don't comply with the locals' wishes
       D7                          Gm
I can see us being sacrificed or stuffed
    D7
So let's be gods, the perks are great!
Gm
El Dorado on a plate
 Eb            Cm7           A7    D7
Local feeling should not be rebuffed...

Chorus 2:
      Gm
It's tough to be a god
            Eb
But if you get the peoples' nod
             D7                                   Gm
Count your blessings, Keep 'em sweet, That's our advice
       F7            Bb
Be a symbol of perfection
       F7         Bb
Be a legend, be a cult
             G7                    Cm
Take their praise, take the collection
        G7          Cm
As the multitudes exalt
        Ab
Don a supernatural habit
        G7
We'd be crazy not to grab it!
    Ab              G7           Cm
So sign up two new gods for paradise
Ab G7 C
Paradise!
