Elton John-Guess Thats Why They Call It The Blues
bpm 72
Heavy 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
[End of Verse][C] Wait on me
