Blues Never Fade Away Elton John
Intro: Cm
Verse 1:
He [Gm/D]wasn't f[Eb]amous but I sure did l[Bb]ove him
I've got his [Ab]picture in a little f[Eb]rame
He lost his [Eb]life to a big di[Bb]sease before it e[Ab]ven had a name [Eb]
But there's [Fm]so many more and [Bb]I've lost count
The h[Gm]ows and whys aren't[Cm] important now
All that [F7]matters is they came ar[Bb]ound
And brightened [Absus2]up our l[Eb]ives
Verse 2:
She was [Eb]twenty one with her l[Bb]ife ahead
You don't n[Ab]eed to know her n[Eb]ame
She breathed her l[Eb]ast on the cold stone f[Bb]loor of a H[Ab]ollywood arcade [Eb]
But f[Fm]ate's right hand isn't a[Bb]lways just
Puts a l[Gm]ot of pressure on your f[Cm]aith and trust
She was j[F7]ust a little girl, ain't that e[Bb]nough
To rage a[Absus2]gainst the d[Eb]ay
Chorus:
And [Ab]how did we get so l[Eb]ucky
[Bb]Targets on the rifle ran[Cm]ge[Cm/Bb]
Who[Ab] makes the call and [Eb]who gets to choose
[Bb]Who gets to win and wh[Cm]o gets to lose
It's like a[Ab] rolling dice in the[Eb] belly of the blues
And [G]blues never f[G/B]ade away[Cm]
[Cm/Bb]Hey hey hey, c[Ab]olors run when the r[Eb]ain falls
But [G]blues never f[G/B]ade away[Cm]
Verse 3:
He s[Gm/D]hone so b[Eb]right with a lust for l[Bb]ife
Like the S[Ab]un King that he w[Eb]as
His passions h[Eb]ung upon his w[Bb]alls and were p[Ab]rinted onto c[Eb]loth
And for r[Fm]easons I never u[Bb]nderstood
About the c[Gm]hoices made between the b[Cm]ad and good
I've tried to f[F7]igure out why
The p[Bb]ain never g[Absus2]oes away[Eb]
Chorus:
And [Ab]how did we get so l[Eb]ucky
[Bb]Targets on the rifle ran[Cm]ge[Cm/Bb]
Who[Ab] makes the call and [Eb]who gets to choose
[Bb]Who gets to win and wh[Cm]o gets to lose
It's like a[Ab] rolling dice in the[Eb] belly of the blues
And [G]blues never f[G/B]ade away[Cm]
[Cm/Bb]Hey hey hey, c[Ab]olors run when the r[Eb]ain falls
But [G]blues never f[G/B]ade away[Cm]
Bridge:
And there's [G/B]marble markers and [Cm]little white crosses
A[G/B]long the beaten [Cm]path
And I've s[Ab]pread their ashes [Eb]on the wind
And I m[Bb]iss John Lennon's l[Cm]augh
Chorus:
And [Ab]how did we get so l[Eb]ucky
[Bb]Targets on the rifle ran[Cm]ge[Cm/Bb]
Who[Ab] makes the call and [Eb]who gets to choose
[Bb]Who gets to win and wh[Cm]o gets to lose
And [Ab]how did we get so l[Eb]ucky
[Bb]Targets on the rifle ran[Cm]ge[Cm/Bb]
Who[Ab] makes the call and [Eb]who gets to choose
[Bb]Who gets to win and wh[Cm]o gets to lose
It's like a[Ab] rolling dice in the[Eb] belly of the blues
And [G]blues never f[G/B]ade away[Cm]
[Cm/Bb]Hey hey hey, c[Ab]olors run when the r[Eb]ain falls
But [G]blues never f[G/B]ade away[Cm]
