Levon - John/Taupin
F Bb F
Levon wears his war wound like a crown.
Bb F
He calls his child Jesus
C Dm
`Cause he likes the name
Am7 Bb Gm7
And he sends him to the finest school in town
F Bb F
And Levon, Levon likes his money
Bb F
He makes a lot they say
C Dm
Spend his days counting
Am7 Bb Gm7
In a garage by the motorway
Am7 Dm Bb
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
Bb F Gm7
Alvin Tostig has a son today
F Bb F
And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
Bb F
And he shall be Levon in tradition with the family plan
Bb F
And he shall be Levon and he shall be a good man
Bb F C
He shall be Levon
