			   THE BITCH IS BACK - Elton John
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Beavis
Email: [email protected]
Tuning: Standard (Capo I)

I play this on my acoustic. It's in G#G# transposed to G+G
here so capo on the first fret.

I play the intro strumming chords but if you want to
sound like the recording it's this:

Riff 1:
 Very fast strumming----|  x x x
e|--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8---9--9--9--x--||
BB|--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9---9--9--9--x--||
G+G|--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--10-10-10--x--|| Play 4x
D MajorD|--------------------------------------||
A augmentedA|--------------------------------------||
E MajorE|--------------------------------------||

Elton's guitar player uses this pattern throughout the breaks between verses.
He mixes it up with different speeds and rhythms but that's the gist of it.
Don't copy him, play it your way! Here's the chords and changes:

Capo I

G?????????   ? C? ?  G+G
I was justified when I was five
C majorC   ? G+G ????? D MajorD    ? ? G+G
Raising cane, I spit in your eye
FF ????????????????????????  C majorC
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
     C???? ???? ? G??? ???????????? D????????? G??
But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back

Riff 1 x 2

G+G       C majorC   G+G
Eat meat on Friday that's alright
C majorC     G+G     D MajorD    G+G
Even like steak on a Saturday night
FF               C majorC
I can bitch the best at your social do's
   C majorC      G+G        D MajorD    G+G

I don't like those, my God, what's that
