Elton John - Levon: chords

F               A#                 F
Levon wears his war wound like a crown.
A#                  F
He calls his child Jesus
C                    Dm
`Cause he likes the name
       Am7               A#               Gm7 C
And he sends him to the finest school in town

Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot, they say
Spends his days countin'
In a garage by the motorway

Am               Dm                   A#
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
          F                  Gm7                  F
When the New York Times said God is dead and the war's begun
A#            F          Gm7  C
Alvin Tostig has a son today

Chorus:
                 A#                      F
And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
                 A#                          F
And he shall be Levon in tradition with the family plan
                 A#                      F
And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
A#       Gm7   C
He shall be Levon

Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
His family business thrives
Jesus blows up balloons all day
Sits on the porch swing, watchin' them fly

And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
Leave Levon far behind
Take a balloon and go sailin'
While Levon, Levon slowly dies

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said "God is dead
And the War's begun"
Alvin Tostig has a son today

Chorus:
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
Whoo! And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
Whoo! And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon
