Verse 1
(D major) (G minor) (D major) (G minor) (D major) I
hardly
think I'm qualified
(G minor) To come across all sanctified
(D major) I just don't cut it with the cherubim
(G minor) (D major) (Tulio, what are
you talking about?!)
There again, they're on their knees
(G minor) Being worshiped is a breeze
(E flat major) (C minor) (C major) (Asus4) (D major)
Which (G minor) rather suits us in (D major) (G minor)
(D major) (G minor) the interim (E flat major)
(Inter (C minor) im, interim It's me and (A major) him)
Oh, (D major) my God!
It's (G minor) tough to be a god!
Verse 2
Tread where mortals (E flat major) have not trod
Be (D major) deified when really you're a sham (G minor)
Be (F major) an object of devo (B flat major) tion
Be the (F major) subject of psalms (B flat major)
It's (G major) a rather touching no (C minor) tion
All those (G major) prayers and those
salaams (C minor)
And who am (A flat major) I to bridle
If I'm (G major) forced to be an idol?
If they (A flat major) say that I'm a god,
(G major) that's what I (C minor) am!
(D major) What's more, if

Verse 3
we (G minor) don't comply
(D major) With the locals' wishes
I can see (G minor) us being (D major) sacrificed
or (G minor) stuffed
(You have a point there, very
(E flat major) good (C minor) thinking)
So, let's be (A major) (D major) gods (G minor) the
perks are (D major) great (Yeah)
El Dorado on (G minor) a plate (Thank you!)
Local feelings (D major) should not be rebuffed
Never rebuff, never (G minor) rebuff a
local feeling
No, my friend! (E flat major)
Verse 4
(C minor) It's tough (A major) (D major) (G minor) to be a god
But if you (E flat major) get the people's nod
Count your (D major) blessings, keep 'em sweet,
that's our ad (G minor) vice
(It's great advice!)
Be a (F major) symbol of perfec (B flat major) tion
Be a (F major) le (B flat major) gend!
Be a (G major) cult!
Take their praise, take a col (C minor) lection
As (G major) (C minor) the mul (A flat major) titudes exalt
Don a supernat (G major) ural habit
We'd be crazy not to grab
(G minor) it! (You got it!)
So, sign (A flat major) on two new god (G major)
s for para (A flat major) dise
Par-a-dise!
(B flat major) Par-a-dise!

Par-a-dise! (D major) (G minor) (D major)
(G minor) (D major) (G minor) (D major) (G minor) (D major)
(G minor)
(D major) (G minor) (D major)
(G minor) (D major) (G minor) (D major)
(G minor) (D major) (G minor) (D major) (G minor)
