Chords for Elton John - I'm Going to be a Teenage Idol (1972) With Lyrics!

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ [Am] _ _ And the hills I face are [F] a long, hard climb [Gm] I just sit, cross [D]-legged with my old [C] guitar _
It [Am] kind of makes me [G] feel like a rock and [F] roll star _ _
[Am] Well it makes me laugh, Lord, it makes me cry And a thankful [F] one, let me just get high
[G] Let me get electric, put a silk [F] suit on _
[Am] With my old [G] guitar and two atomic [F] guns _
_ [D] To shoot myself, you'll find [Am] every kid alive gonna know my name
[D] An open-eyed [E] phenomenon like there's never [F] been _
I'm born a baby [G] supersonic, can't I be [A] slain? _
[Dm] I'll be a teenage [G] diner, [Dm] just give me [G] a break
[C] I'm gonna be a teenage [A] diner, [Dm] no matter how long [G] it takes
[Dm] You can't [G] imagine what it means to [Dm] me
I'm gonna grab [G] myself a place in the [A] history
_ A [F] teenage diner, _ [Ab] _ [E] that's what I'm [Am] gonna be _
_ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [F] _ [Am] Well life is short and the world is rough
And if you're gonna [Bb] boogie, boy, you gotta be [Gm] tough
Nobody knows if [C] I'm dead or [F] alive
I [Am] _ just [G] train myself to [F] sleep easy night
_ [Am] So I pray to the teenage god I'll rock
If I make it [G] big, I'll have to stay on top
You gotta [Dm] cut me loose, I promise [C] one room dive
_ [Am] Put me on the [G] ladder, keep this boy [F] alive
_ _ [D] To shoot myself, you'll find [Am] every kid alive gonna know my name
[D] An open-eyed [E] phenomenon like there's never [F] been
_ _ I'm born a baby [G] supersonic, can't I be [A] slain?
_ [Dm] I'll be a teenage [G] diner, [Dm] just give me a [G] break
I'm [C] gonna be a teenage [A]
diner, [Dm] no matter how long it [G] takes
[Dm] You can't imagine [G] what it means to me
[Dm] I'm gonna grab myself [G] a place in the [A] history
A [F] teenage diner, _ [Ab] that's [E] what I'm gonna [Am] be
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _
