[Intro :] G

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

G Bm C

Well this world is a bitch, girl

Don’t end up in a ditch, girl
A G A
I’ll be watching you close to the end

So fight on as you are
C Em D
my American princess
Bm Em
may God bless you with incense

You’re my shining American star
