Lyrics

I am that rare and awe some thing.

I’m ev ’ry inch a king.

Yet, I feel a twinge of doubt

as I go walk a bout.

When my name is whis pered through the (Gm)pride,

is this talk of (D)love or reg i (Gm)cide?

Tell me I’m a (Cm)dored.

Please, (D)tell me I’m a (Gm)dored.

Yeah, you’re our sav ior.

Thanks a bunch!

But what a bout some lunch?

It does n’t mat ter if it’s fresh.

I need a fix of flesh.

My (Dm)bones have moved to where they’ve nev er (Am)been.

They are on the out side look ing (Am)in.

You are so a (F)dored.

You are so a (Esus)dored.

You (E)are so a (Am)dored.

But what I’d give for one more hit of wil de beest kiel ba sa.

Or may be horn bill on a spit.

Mu fa sa?!

Mu fa sa?!

(Dm)I am per fect ly (E)fine!

I’m bet ter than Mu fa sa was.

I’m re vered.

I am re viled.

I’m i dol ized.

I am de spised.

I’m keep ing calm.

I’m go ing wild!

I tell my self I’m (F)fine.

(Bm)I (Am)tell (E7)my (Am)self (E)I’m (Am)fine.

She’s got those as sets fe mi nine

I have to make her mine.

No bil i ty in ev ’ry gene.

She has to be my queen.

Come, sweet Na la, it’s (D7sus)writ ten (D7)in the stars.

We’ll cre ate a host of lit tle Scars.

Tell me I’m a (Cm)dored.

(D)Tell me I’m a dored.

You be long to (Cm)me.

You all be long to (Gm)me.

About “The Madness Of King Scar”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "The Madness Of King Scar"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature G. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "The Madness Of King Scar" by Elton John played in?
The Madness Of King Scar is arranged in the key of G on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "The Madness Of King Scar"?
The arrangement plays at 70 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "The Madness Of King Scar" easy to play on piano?
Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
Can I download sheet music for "The Madness Of King Scar"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "The Madness Of King Scar"?
"The Madness Of King Scar" was originally performed by Elton John. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
What other songs by Elton John can I play here?
Try "SOMEONE SAVED MY LIFE TONIGHT", "CROCODILE ROCK", "BURN DOWN THE MISSION". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "The Madness Of King Scar" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature G, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 70 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
