Words and Music: Elton John and Bernie Taupin

Transcribed by: Raine M. Ekman (raekman@abo.fi)

All chords last for 1 bar except for the intro and the part of the chorus that
goes "Oh I've..." (Db Eb F C Dm F Bb C)
Two slash chords included. Of course you can leave out the note after the slash

and just use the regular chord shapes.
C/E x-x-2-0-1-0
Dm/C x-3-x-2-3-1

Easier to play when transposed down 3 steps. To get back to the original key

put on a capo 3rd fret.
