    Elton John

This is a two part song really, but since I'm after the singing bit I'm
only going to do part two, Love Lies Bleeding.

The fade out from Funeral For A Friend is just two chords repeated...

A / Bbmaj7 /

The introduction to Love Lies Bleeding goes like this...

A// (x02220@1) C// (x32010@1) G// (320003@1) F/ (133211@1)G/ (320003@1)
The F and the second G only get half a bar each.

Chorus

(About now Elton does his thing with the piano, and there's a guitar solo
but the chords are the same as for the intro)

Chorus

There's more singing over the chorus, and then a guitar solo fade with the
chord pattern from the intro.
