The Scaffold chords by Elton John

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Intro: | C#C# |

G#G#
In Orient where wise I was to please the way I live.
   F#F#
Come give the beggar chance at hand his life is on his lip.
                  G#G#
Three score a thousand times where once in Amazon.
   F#F#
Where El Dorado holds the key no keeper holds my hand.

CHORUS:
 C#C#
Unchain the gate of solitude, the ruler says you run.
         C#C#
Run hard unto the scaffold high - your chance to - jump the gun.
F#F#
Oh, how high the scaffold grows - the plant life of your widow.
                       F#F#
In black lace curtains brought you near from out the plate glass window.
F#F#
Oh, how high the scaffold grows - the plant life of your widow.
                       F#F#
In black lace curtains brought you near from out the plate glass window.

G#G#
The Minotaur with bloody hands is - enraged by the sun.
F#F#
Caged he by the corpses brought forth by the dawn.
              G#G#
In Orient is as I told the buckshee hangman swears.
  F#F#
For open crypts to silence nylon knots to sway by prayer.

{Repeat Chorus}

G#G#
In Orient where wise I was to please the way I live.
   F#F#
Come give the beggar chance at hand - his life is on his lip.
