tabbed by: Brian

G    Fill 1  F#      A              B                 G fill 2   
             Sun she burns mean and big, I think I'll go to Cafe Noir        

F#         A        B             G fill 2           F#  B      
Big screen turns me on, I'm gonna be a western star, how hard 

          F#        A           B           G fill 2
can it be? I get my freon bingo inside your cool and soft 

       F#       A        B               G fill 2
sarong. Rolling on the moquette inside a cul-de-sac kampong. 

F#  B               D               E              A
How hard can it be? How hard can it be when you're western 

      D           E              C#7                  D
star? shining and free don't you know that a star burns best? 

     E                         F#  B
How hard can it be? I say now, how hard can it be?

She's so sentimental she's got my picture in her head the
toolman is in her dreams I was lifted when she said 
how hard can it be? How hard can it be when you're western star? 
shining and free don't you know that a star burns best? 
How hard can it be? I say now, how hard can it be?

F#  B  F#  B  F#  B  F#  B

    F#              B                F#             B        
And now he's headed skyward standing up on piles of plywood and

       F#              B                 F#            B   
all he thinks about is how he looks like Heroes-period Bowie 

        F#                B            F#             B  
and his figure blocks the light and he takes away the night and

     F#             B           F#        A         B
he's dancin' to the new bolero, yo soy un pistolero, I'm not

G  fill 2           F#        A        B           G  
shakin' in my boots, I'm ruler of this moon boy so if you move

        F#   B
I shoots how hard can it be?
