Between Seventeen And Twenty chords by Elton John

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)



Intro:
A A7 D x8


Verse 1:
  A            A7               D
I wonder who's sleeping in your sheets tonight
      A           A7      D
Whose head rests upon the bed
A             A7             D
Could it be a close friend I knew so well
G                                                        D    G D
 Who seems to be so close to you instead, close to you instead

Verse 2:
    A      A7             D
I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
    A              A7              D
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad
A          A7          D
 I guess I cannot have everything
G                                                                         D   G D
 So much has flown between the years, when I was twenty and you were seventeen


Chorus:
F                         Bb
 So out of choice I chose rock and roll
       F                           Bb
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
          G                         C
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home
G#                     Cm                G#              G
  From there on, there seemed no use for you, for you to stay


Verse 3:
    A    A7            D    A              A7    D
And if I shower around 3 a.m, it's just to wash away
    A          A7     D     G                                                   D    G D
The trace of a love unwanted. Oh, in the times I went astray, the times I went astray


Chorus:
F                         Bb
 So out of choice I chose rock and roll
       F                           Bb
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
          G                         C
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home
G#                     Cm                G#              G
  From there on, there seemed no use for you, for you to stay

Verse 4:
    A      A7             D
I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
    A              A7              D
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad
A          A7          D
 I guess I cannot have everything
G                                                                         D   G D

 So much has flown between the years When I was twenty, oh and you were seventeen

Wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh
G                                                                            D
 So much has flown between the years When I was twenty, oh and you were seventeen
