EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLAR SHOES -- ELTON JOHN, "The Union"(2010)
INTRO
Eb MajorEb G7G7 | C minorCm AbAb
VERSE
Eb MajorEb Bb7Bb7
You had your grand illusion and wrestled with your fate
Fm/Ab G7G7
The winter of your discontent came twenty years too late
C minorCm Cm/BbCm/Bb F/AF/A Ab6Ab6
If it was love and I was there I've forgotten where it lives
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb AbAb
We both stepped off a frozen rock onto a burning bridge
VERSE
Eb MajorEb Bb7Bb7
You came like an invasion all bells and whistles blowing
Fm/Ab G7G7
Reaping the rewards of the fable you'd been sowing
C minorCm Cm/BbCm/Bb F/AF/A Ab6Ab6
I saw you cross the landing and descending marble stairs
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb AbAb
Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon you seemed to walk on air
CHORUS
Eb MajorEb G7G7
And yea I've seen your movie
C minorCm Cm/BbCm/Bb
And I read it in your book
AbAb Eb MajorEb
The truth just flew off every page
G7G7
Your songs have all the hooks
C minorCm Cm/BbCm/Bb
You're seven wonders rolled in one
Am7b5Am7b5 Ab6Ab6
You shifted gear to cruise
Eb MajorEb G+G AbAb
Oh you came to town in headlines
Bb9Bb9 Eb MajorEb
And eight hundred dollar shoes
INSTRUMENTAL
Eb MajorEb G7G7 | C minorCm AbAb
VERSE
Eb MajorEb Bb7Bb7
Oh the bellboys are crying and moneys changing hands
Fm/Ab G7G7
Your cloak and dagger legacy's gone home to no man's land
C minorCm Cm/BbCm/Bb F/AF/A Ab6Ab6
The marquee lights are flickering your poster's fading fast
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb Ab6Ab6
Your being here just melts away like ice cubes in a glass
CHORUS
Eb MajorEb G7G7
And yea I've seen your movie
C minorCm Cm/BbCm/Bb
And I read it in your book
AbAb Eb MajorEb
The truth just flew off every page
G7G7
Your songs have all the hooks
C minorCm Cm/BbCm/Bb
You're seven wonders rolled in one
Am7b5Am7b5 Ab6Ab6
You shifted gear to cruise
Eb MajorEb G+G AbAb
Oh you came to town in headlines
Bb9Bb9 Eb MajorEb
And eight hundred dollar shoes
Eb MajorEb G+G AbAb
Oh you came to town in headlines
Bb9Bb9 Eb MajorEb
And eight hundred dollar shoes
