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


Instrumental:
A A7 D x3
G D G D


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 and you were seventeen

G                                      D  G D
 So much has flown between the years When I was twenty, oh and you were seventeen
  A A7  D    A A7  D    A A7  D
Wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh
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
