Elton John-Guess Thats Why They Call It The Blues
bpm 72Heavy mute - lot of strum with just first finger - fills are whole slaps on side of guitar with whole hand
[C C9 C G Gsus4 G F]
[Verse]
[G]Don't wish it away
Don't [Em] look at it like [F]it's forever [C F/C C F/C C F/C]
[C] BEtween you and [G]me
I could honestly [Bm] say that [F] things can only get better C F/C C F/C C F/C
And [C] while I'm [G] away
[B7] Bust out the demons inside [Em]
[Dm] And it [G7/D] won't be [C] long before you and me [G] run
To the place in our [Am] hearts [F] where [G] we hide [Am7, G/B (quick fill - like Queen find me)]
[Chorus]
And I [C] guess that's why they [G] call it the [F] blues
Time on my [C] hands could be [G] time spent with [F] you
[C] Laughing like [G] children, living like [Am] lovers
[C] Rolling like [F] thunder under the [D] covers
And I [F] guess that's why they [G] call it the [C] blues - [C C9 C G Gsus4 G F]
[Verse]
Just [G] stare into space
[Em] Picture my face [F] in your hands [C F/C C F/C C F/C]
[C] Live for each [G]second
Without hesi [Bm] tation and [F] never forget I'm your [C] man C F/C C F/C C F/C
[C] Wait on me [G] girl
[B7] Cry in the night if it [Em] helps [Dm ]
But [G7/D] more than [C] ever I simply love [G] you
More than I [Am] love [F] life it[G] self [Am7, G/B]
[Chorus]
And I [C] guess that's why they [G] call it the [F] blues
Time on my [C] hands could be [G] time spent with [F] you
[C] Laughing like [G] children, living like [Am] lovers
[C] Rolling like [F] thunder under the [D] covers
And I [F] guess that's why they [G] call it the [C] blues - C C9 C G Gsus4 G F
[Solo - Verse Chords]
NOT SUNG - Just [G] stare into space
NOT SUNG - [Em] Picture my face in your [F] hands [C F/C C F/C C F/C]
NOT SUNG - [C] Live for each [G]second
NOT SUNG - Without hesitation and [Bm] never [F] forget I'm your [C] man C F/C C F/C C F/C
