Writing chords by Elton John
Guitar chords with lyrics
Writing Elton John Capo: 3 (to original key) Notes: This is a compromise chart. I'm trying to make a piano-based song work for solo acoustic guitar. There are a few 2/4 measures hidden in the recording, usually when the chart indicates you should hold a chord []. The G2-C2 pattern is an abbreviation for an instrumental line that walks up and down: (g) (a) (b) (c) (b) (a) [4x] | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 G2 C2 G2 C2 Is there anything left, . maybe steak and eggs G2 C2 Dm6 E7 Am Waking up to washing up, making up your bed Am Em D D6 D C Am7 |G2 C2 | La-zy days, my ra-zor blade could use a better edge
