Verse 
D        A          D 
Tonya Harding, my star 
G          Bm         A 
Well this world is a cold one 
        F#m         G 
But it takes one to know one 
    D          A             G 
And God only knows what you are 

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

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

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

D         A         D 
Are you lonely at night? 
G       Bm           A 
Do you miss all the glory 
           F#m    G 
And the mythical story 
Bm       A        G 
Of the Olympian life?

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

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

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

Tonya Harding, my friend 
G                     D 
Well this world is a bitch, girl 
F#m                Bm 
Don’t end up in a ditch, girl 
                 E    D            E 
I’ll be watching you close to the end 
D        A           D 
So fight on as you are 
G      Bm     A 
My American princess 
    F#m                  Bm 
May God bless you with incense 
                    A        G 
You’re my shining American star
