"Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" from the album of the same name written by Elton John/Bernie Taupin Transcribed/tabbed by Scot the Hoople (scotthehoople@cox.net) Here's one of my all-time favorite songs from E.J. (or from any artist, = for that matter). Pick out the opening melody, making the transition = from picked notes to chords as smooth as possible. I found it's smoother = to use a barre G for the first chord. Your middle finger should fret the = slide to the B note on the 4th fret G string, allowing you to grab the = barre G chord easily.=20 This is my first tab (all my own work!), so feel free to submit = corrections or write to tell me what you think. Enjoy!
