The Scaffold chords by Elton John (Ver. 2)

Intro: |  C#  |

G#
In Orient where wise I was to please the way I live.
     F#
Come give the beggar chance at hand his life is on his lip.
                                   G#
Three score a thousand times where once in Amazon.
      F#
Where El Dorado holds the key no keeper holds my hand.

CHORUS:
  C#
Unchain the gate of solitude, the ruler says you run.
                  C#
Run hard unto the scaffold high  -  your chance to  -  jump the gun.
F#
Oh, how high the scaffold grows - the plant life of your widow.
                                             F#
In black lace curtains brought you near from out the plate glass window.
F#
Oh, how high the scaffold grows - the plant life of your widow.
                                             F#
In black lace curtains brought you near from out the plate glass window.

G#
The Minotaur with bloody hands is  -  enraged by the sun.
F#
Caged he by the corpses brought forth by the dawn.
                            G#
In Orient is as I told the buckshee hangman swears.
    F#
For open crypts to silence nylon knots to sway by prayer.

{Repeat Chorus}

G#
In Orient where wise I was to please the way I live.
     F#
Come give the beggar chance at hand - his life is on his lip.
