Blues Never Fade Away Elton John
INTRO
[Cm]
VERSE
He [Bb/D]wasn't [Eb]famous but I sure did l[Bb]ove him
I've got his [Ab]picture in a little [Eb]frame
He lost his [Eb]life to a big di[Bb]sease before it [Ab]even had a [Eb]name
But there is [Fm]so many more and I'v[Bb]e lost count
The [Gm7]hows and whys aren't im[Cm]portant now
All that [F/A]matters is they came [Bb]around
And brightened up our [Eb]lives
VERSE
She was [Eb]twenty one with her [Bb]life ahead
You don't [Ab]need to know her [Eb]name
She breathed her [Eb]last on the cold stone [Bb]floor of a [Ab]Hollywood ar[Eb]cade
But fa[Fm7]te's right hand isn't always [Bb]just
Puts a [Gm7]lot of pressure on your [Cm]faith and trust
She was [F/A]just a little girl ain't that [Bb]enough
To rage against the [Eb]day
CHORUS
And [Ab]how did we get so [Eb]lucky?
[Bb]Targets on the rifle [Cm]range
[Ab]Who 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 [G7/B]blues never fade a[Cm]way
[Cm/Bb]Hey hey the [Ab]colors run when the [Eb]rain falls
But [G7/B]blues never fade a[Cm]way
VERSE
He [Bb/D]shone so [Eb]bright with a lust for [Bb]life
Like the [Ab]Sun King that he [Eb]was
His passions [Eb]hung upon his [Bb]walls and were [Ab]printed onto [Eb]cloth
And for [Fm7]reasons I never unde[Bb]rstood
About the [Gm7]choices made between the [Cm]bad and good
I've tried to [F/A]figure out but
The [Bb]pain never goes [Eb]away
CHORUS
And [Ab]how did we get so [Eb]lucky?
[Bb]Targets on the rifle [Cm]range
[Ab]Who 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 [G7/B]blues never fade a[Cm]way
[Cm/Bb]Hey hey the [Ab]colors run when the [Eb]rain falls
But [G7/B]blues never fade a[Cm]way
BRIDGE
And there's [G7/D]marble markers and [Cm/Eb]little white crosses
A[G7/F]long the beaten [Cm/G]path
And I've sp[Ab]read their ashes [Eb/Bb]on the wind
And I [Bb]miss John Lennon's [Cm]laugh
CHORUS
And [Ab]how did we get so [Eb]lucky?
[Bb]Targets on the rifle [Cm]range
[Ab]Who 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 [G7/B]blues never fade a[Cm]way
[Cm/Bb]Hey hey the [Ab]colors run when the [Eb]rain falls
But [G7/B]blues never fade a[Cm]way
