Elton John

F Bb/F F
I've been out on this road some
C/E Dm
Can't help feeling I've been showing my friends around
Bb Bb/A
I've seen it growing from next to nothing
Gm Gm/F C/E
Into a giant eating up your town

F Bb/F F
Called up the tealeaves and the ta-----rots
C/E Dm
Asked the gypsy what she sees in the palm of our hands
Bb Bb/A
She saw a mountain and wild deer running
Gm Gm/F C/E
A crazy kid becoming a better man

Gm
But we stuck around for the fireworks
Gm/F C/E
Waiting to ex-plode
A Dm
Shaped our futures, you a tumbleweed
Bb C
And me on a yellow brick road
Gm
Pleasing the people some of the time
Gm/F C/E
For better or for worse
A Dm
An urban soul in a fine silk Suit
Bb G/B C
And a heart out west in a Wrangler shirt

----------------------------------------------chorus
F Dm
And you can't go back and if you try it fails
Bb F
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
F Dm
A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale"
Bb
And that's what we did
G/B F/C
No lies at all just one more tale
A/C Dm
About the Captain and the Kid

----------------------------------------------1.verse

F Bb/F F
We've been missing at times in action
C/E Dm
Can't imagine what he said he might do for you
Bb Bb/A
The devil got to come to the party sometimes
Gm Gm/F C/E
But he never got to wear our shoes

F Bb/F F
Oh we've conjured up what we cre-ated
C/E Dm
Way back then when I was standing up in six-inch heels
Bb Bb/A
Now you're riding off into the sunset
Gm Gm/F C/E
And I'm still spinning like a Catherine wheel

Gm
But we stuck around for the battle
Gm/F C/E
Waiting for a plan
A Dm
To turn you into the Brown Dirt Cowboy
Bb C
And me into a rocket man
Gm
It pleases the people some of the time
Gm/F C/E
Digging in-to our roots
A Dm
But I got a brand new pair of shoes
Bb G/B C
And you're on a horse in old cowboy boots
