Phew, first tab I've made in months. Great song from the 70's
that was used in the film Almost Famous. Many people requested
this a few months ago so I decided to tab it now, when people
have already found the chords somewhere else :)
Lots of chords, but don't be intimidated, it's an easy song to
play. I got the basics for this tab at:

So Big Thanx to them, lots of other Elton John songs there,
check it out.
