Elton John-Sun Going Down
[Intro]
|[C] |[C/Bb] |[F/A] [C/G] |[F] |
[Verse 1]
[G] I can't light [C/G] [G] no more of your [F] darkness [C]
[F/C] [C] [C/E]
[F] All my pictures [Bb/F] [F] seem to fade to black and [G] white
[C/G] [G] [C/G] [G]
[G] I'm growing tired [C/G] [G] and time stands still [F] before [C] me
[F/C] [C] [C/E]
[F] Frozen here [Bb/F] [F] on the ladder of my [G] life
[C/G] [G] [C/G] [G]
[G] Too late [C/G] [G] to save myself from [F] falli [C] ng
[F/C] [C] [C/E]
[F] I took a chance [Bb/F] [F] and changed your way of [G] life
[C/G] [G] [C/G] [G]
[G] But you misread [C/G] [G] my meaning when I [F] met y [C] ou
[F/C] [C] [C/E]
[F] Closed the door [Bb/F] [F] and left me [C/G] blinded by the [G] light
[Chorus]
[C] Don't let the sun go [C/Bb-6x555x] down on me
[F/A] Although I search myself, it's always [D7/F#] someone else I see
[C/G] I'd just allow a fragment of your [F/G] life [G]
to wander [C] free [C/Bb]
But [F/A] losing everything is like the [Dm] sun (fast chords)
[C/E] go--- [F] ing [C/G] down [G] on [C] me
|[C] |[C/Bb] |[F/A] [C/G] |[F] |
[Verse 2]
[G] I can't find [C/G] , [G7] oh the right rom
[F] antic li [C] ne
[F/C] [C] [C/E]
[F] But see me once [Bb/F] [F] and see the way
I [G] feel [G7]
[G] Don't discard me [C/G] [G] just because you
[F] think I mean you [C] harm
[F/C] [C] [C/E]
[F] But these cuts I have [Bb/F]
[F] they need love [C/G] to help them heal [G]
[Chorus]
[C] Don't let the sun go [C/Bb-6x555x] down on me
[F/A] Although I search myself, it's always [D7/F#] someone else I see
[C/G] I'd just allow a fragment of your [F/G] life [G]
to wander [C] free [C/Bb]
But [F/A] losing everything is like the [Dm] sun (fast chords)
[C/E] go--- [F] ing [C/G] down [G] on [C] me
|C |C/Bb |F/A |Ab6 Bb |
[C] Don't let the sun go [C/Bb-6x555x] down on me
[F/A] Although I search myself, it's always s [D7/F#] omeone else I see
[C/G] I'd just allow a fragment of your [F/G] life [G] to wander [C] free
[C/Bb]
But [F/A] losing everything is like the [Dm] sun (fast chords)
[C/E] go--- [F] ing [C/G] down [G] on [C] me
|C |C/Bb |F/A |Ab6 Bb |C
[Notes]
Don't go for harmonies in the chorus too much
Opening figure - use thumb and first finger to play B - 1 3 E - 1 0 B - 1 3
Whilst still holding the C chord as much as possible so it sustains
Chord for C/Bb - 6x555
Run down - D 0 - A- 3 2 0 then play G - don't pull off play first
with first finger then rest with thumb
Piano intro C - notes - dont try to hold C maj chord - use second
finger for the 1 so in good position to finger the next chord
B 1 3 E 1 0 B 3 1 (hammer on and pull off) - 11xx1x 01xx1x x10x1x
Use side of thumb and muting with left hand to 1 &3&4 - staccato on 4
Losing everything - have snare hit with no chord OR just play bass drum with chords

[C#m7] [C#m7] [Aadd9-x02222] [E] x 4
[Verse 1]
It's not a [C#m7] silly little moment
It's not the [Aadd9] storm before the [E] calm
This is the [C#m7] deep and dying breath of
This love that we've been [Aadd9] working [E] on
Can't seem to [C#m7] hold you like I want to
So I can [Aadd9] feel you in my [E] arms
Nobody's [C#m7] gonna come and save you
We've pulled too many [Aadd9] false al [E] arms
[Chorus - Badd11-799800,F#m11-24x200 ]
We're going [Badd11] down
And you can [C#m7-9-11-x-9-0-0] see it [Aadd9] too
We're going [Badd11] down
And you [C#m7] know that we're [F#m11-play F#m7 instead] doomed
My [C#m7] dear, we're slow [C#m7] dancing in a
[Aadd9] burning [E] room
[Instrumental]
[C#m7] [C#m7] [Aadd9-x02222] [E] x 4
[Verse 2]
I was the [C#m7] one you always dreamed of
You were the [Aadd9] one I tried to d [E] raw
How dare you [C#m7] say it's nothing to me
Baby, you're the only [Aadd9] light I ever [E] saw
I'll make the [C#m7] most of all the sadness
You'll be a [Aadd9] bitch because you [E] can
You try to [C#m7] hit me just to hurt me so you leave me feeling dirty
'Cause you [Aadd9] can't under [E] stand
[Chorus]
We're going [Badd11] down
And you can [C#m7] see it [Aadd9] too
We're going [Badd11] down
And you [C#m7] know that we're [F#m11] doomed
My [C#m7] dear, we're slow [C#m7] dancing in a
[Aadd9] burning [E] room
[Instrumental]
[C#m7] [C#m7] [Aadd9-x02222] [E] x 4
[Bridge]
Go [F#m11] cry about it, why [C#m7C#m7-9-11-x-9-0-0]
don't you [Badd11] [Aadd9]
Go [F#m11] cry about it, why [C#m7] don't you [Badd11] [Aadd9]
Go [F#m11] cry about it, why [C#m7] don't you [Badd11] [Aadd9]
My [C#m7] dear, we're slow [C#m7] dancing in a
[Aadd9] burning [E] room
[Instrumental]
[C#m7] [C#m7] [Aadd9-x02222] [E] x 4
