ACROSS THE RIVER THAMES -- ELTON JOHN, "The Captain and The Kid"(2006)

INTRO
Bb Dm7 | Gm Eb F
Bb Dm7 | Gm Eb F

VERSE
     Bb
Good taste at times I've sometimes lacked
  Ab/Bb          Eb
I won't deny the truth
                           Bb/D
I got dressed up as Donald Duck
                 F    F/G     F/A
Making up for my re - pressed youth
Bb
Disco balls and spandex pants
   Ab/Bb        Eb
On questionable friends
      Bb/F                       F      F/G        F/Ab F/A  Bb
Disco died but how the fog still rolled across the River   Thames

VERSE
Bb
Snarling they just came along
    Ab/Bb         Eb
And cut us to the quick
                     Bb/D
Called us a bunch of dinosaurs
         F    F/G     F/A
And gave us a load of sticks
     Bb
Told us that the times was changing
    Ab/Bb                Eb
And all good things must end
              Bb/F                   F      F/G       F/Ab F/A  Bb
But I'm still here and the fog still rolls across the River   Thames

CHORUS
Gm              D/F#
Nelson's on his column
Bb/F              C/E
Ravens are in the Tower
Eb             Bb/D
Big Ben never lost his voice
Am7             D7
Chimes on every hour
        Gm                      D/F#
And the fog still rolls off the River Thames
    Bb/F               C/E
The forecast calls for rain
Eb                          Bb/D
London Bridge ain't falling down
    D    D/Eb   D/E D/F#   Gm
And some things never    change

INSTRUMENTAL
Bb Dm7 | Gm Eb F

VERSE
    Bb
The black-faced boys were holding tight
    Ab/Bb           Eb
And Thatcher's in a noose
                       Bb/D
Hair got teased beyond belief
       F          F/G    F/A
In the age of the golden goose
    Bb
The new romantics claimed the throne
    Ab/Bb             Eb
And we were wondering when
         Bb/F                               F        F/G      F/Ab F/A  Bb
But they lost their crown and the fog still rolled across the River   Thames

CHORUS
Gm              D/F#
Nelson's on his column
Bb/F              C/E
Ravens are in the Tower
Eb             Bb/D
Big Ben never lost his voice
Am7             D7
Chimes on every hour
        Gm                      D/F#
And the fog still rolls off the River Thames
    Bb/F               C/E
The forecast calls for rain
Eb                          Bb/D
London Bridge ain't falling down
    D    D/Eb   D/E D/F#   Gm
And some things never    change

BRIDGE
Eb                Bb/D
Big bold letters screaming out
  D7             Gm
A scandal in the house
Eb                 Bb/D
Dogs without their vocal chords
  D7          Gm
Careers going south
         Eb                F/Eb
What the eye can't see the eye invents
    Bb/D               Eb
The truth was meant to bend
            Bb/D                      F       F/G      F/Ab F/A  Bb
But nothing changed and the fog still rolled across the River  Thames

INSTRUMENTAL (guitar solo)
Bb | Eb7 | Eb Bb/D | D7

CHORUS
Gm              D/F#
Nelson's on his column
Bb/F              C/E
Ravens are in the Tower
Eb             Bb/D
Big Ben never lost his voice
Am7             D7
Chimes on every hour
        Gm                      D/F#
And the fog still rolls off the River Thames
    Bb/F               C/E
The forecast calls for rain
Eb                          Bb/D
London Bridge ain't falling down
    D    D/Eb   D/E D/F#   Gm
And some things never    change
Eb                          Bb/D
London Bridge ain't falling down
    D    D/Eb   D/E D/F#   Gm
And some things never    change
