ACROSS THE RIVER THAMES -- ELTON JOHN, "The Captain and The Kid"(2006)
INTRO
Bb majorBb Dm7Dm7 | G minorGm Eb MajorEb FF
Bb majorBb Dm7Dm7 | G minorGm Eb MajorEb FF
VERSE
Bb majorBb
Good taste at times I've sometimes lacked
Ab/Bb Eb MajorEb
I won't deny the truth
Bb/DBb/D
I got dressed up as Donald Duck
FF F/GF/G F/AF/A
Making up for my re - pressed youth
Bb majorBb
Disco balls and spandex pants
Ab/Bb Eb MajorEb
On questionable friends
Bb/FBb/F FF F/GF/G F/Ab F/AF/A Bb majorBb
Disco died but how the fog still rolled across the River Thames
VERSE
Bb majorBb
Snarling they just came along
Ab/Bb Eb MajorEb
And cut us to the quick
Bb/DBb/D
Called us a bunch of dinosaurs
FF F/GF/G F/AF/A
And gave us a load of sticks
Bb majorBb
Told us that the times was changing
Ab/Bb Eb MajorEb
And all good things must end
Bb/FBb/F FF F/GF/G F/Ab F/AF/A Bb majorBb
But I'm still here and the fog still rolls across the River Thames
CHORUS
G minorGm D/F#D/F#
Nelson's on his column
Bb/FBb/F C/EC/E
Ravens are in the Tower
Eb MajorEb Bb/DBb/D
Big Ben never lost his voice
Am7Am7 D7D7
Chimes on every hour
G minorGm D/F#D/F#
And the fog still rolls off the River Thames
Bb/FBb/F C/EC/E
The forecast calls for rain
Eb MajorEb Bb/DBb/D
London Bridge ain't falling down
D MajorD D/Eb D/ED/E D/F#D/F# G minorGm
And some things never change
INSTRUMENTAL
Bb majorBb Dm7Dm7 | G minorGm Eb MajorEb FF
VERSE
Bb majorBb
The black-faced boys were holding tight
Ab/Bb Eb MajorEb
And Thatcher's in a noose
Bb/DBb/D
Hair got teased beyond belief
FF F/GF/G F/AF/A
In the age of the golden goose
Bb majorBb
The new romantics claimed the throne
Ab/Bb Eb MajorEb
And we were wondering when
Bb/FBb/F FF F/GF/G F/Ab F/AF/A Bb majorBb
But they lost their crown and the fog still rolled across the River Thames
CHORUS
G minorGm D/F#D/F#
Nelson's on his column
Bb/FBb/F C/EC/E
Ravens are in the Tower
Eb MajorEb Bb/DBb/D
Big Ben never lost his voice
Am7Am7 D7D7
Chimes on every hour
G minorGm D/F#D/F#
And the fog still rolls off the River Thames
Bb/FBb/F C/EC/E
The forecast calls for rain
Eb MajorEb Bb/DBb/D
London Bridge ain't falling down
D MajorD D/Eb D/ED/E D/F#D/F# G minorGm
And some things never change
BRIDGE
Eb MajorEb Bb/DBb/D
Big bold letters screaming out
D7D7 G minorGm
A augmentedA scandal in the house
Eb MajorEb Bb/DBb/D
Dogs without their vocal chords
D7D7 G minorGm
Careers going south
Eb MajorEb F/Eb
What the eye can't see the eye invents
Bb/DBb/D Eb MajorEb
The truth was meant to bend
Bb/DBb/D FF F/GF/G F/Ab F/AF/A Bb majorBb
But nothing changed and the fog still rolled across the River Thames
INSTRUMENTAL (guitar solo)
Bb majorBb | Eb7Eb7 | Eb MajorEb Bb/DBb/D | D7D7
