Writing Elton John Capo: 3 (to original key) Notes: This is a compromise chart. I'm trying to make a piano-based song work for solo acoustic guitar. There are a few 2/4 measures hidden in the recording, usually when the chart indicates you should hold a chord [<>]. The G2-C2 pattern is an abbreviation for an instrumental line that walks up and down: (g) (a) (b) (c) (b) (a) [4x] | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 G2 C2 G2 C2 Is there anything left, . maybe steak and eggs G2 C2 Dm6 E7 Am Waking up to washing up, making up your bed Am Em D <> D6 D C <> Am7 <> |G2 C2 | La-zy days, my ra-zor blade could use a better edge | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 G2 C2 G2 C2 G2 It's enough to make you laugh, . relax in a nice cool bath C2 Dm6 E7 Am Inspiration for navigation of our new found craft Am Em D <> D6 D C <> Am7 <> |G2 C2 | I know you and you know me, it's always half and half | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | F#7 Bm7 E7 A And we were oh oh, so you know not the kind to dawdle G#m7 C#7 F#7 C#7 F F# Will the things we wrote today sound as good tomorrow Bm7 E7 Amaj7 F#m7 We will still be writing in approaching years G#m7 C#7 F#7 C#7 F# Stifling yawns on Sundays as the weekends disappear G2 C2 G2 C2 We could stretch our legs if we'd half a mind G2 C2 G2 C2 . But don't disturb us if you hear us trying Dm6 E7 Am To instigate the structure of another line or two Am Em D <> D6 D C <> Cause writing's lighting up, and I like life enough to see it through | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | F#7 Bm7 E7 A And we were oh oh, so you know not the kind to dawdle G#m7 C#7 F#7 C#7 F F# Will the things we wrote today sound as good tomorrow Bm7 E7 Amaj7 F#m7 We will still be writing in approaching years G#m7 C#7 F#7 C#7 F# Stifling yawns on Sundays as the weekends disappear | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | Dm6 | E7 | Am | | Am Em | D <> | D6 D | C <> | Am7 <> | | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 G2 C2 We could stretch our legs if we'd half a mind G2 C2 G2 C2 .
