Elton John
Original Key: Capo 5 Note: The heart and soul of this song is the moving bass line notated by the "slash" chords (ie. A/G etc.). With slash chords the letter before slash is the chord and the letter after the slash is the bass note. Novice players can ignore the bass notes and just play the chords. If so you might want to transpose this chart to a different key. I found this key to be the easiest for playing both the chords and the bass notes. I still found it very challenging to play full speed. I hope you find it easier than I did.

I don’t claim any of my charts show the "right" way to play a song. This chord chart represents my personal interpretation of this song. And as such it’s not something I care to debate. If you have another way to play this song great. Please post your own chart. We all benefit when someone contributes. Cheers! Dexex
