Sir Elton John
(born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on
25 March 1947) is an English singer-songwriter, composer, pianist, record
producer, and occasional actor. He became the most successful pop artist of the
1970s, and he has survived many different pop fads including punk, the New
Romantics and Britpop to remain one of Britain's most internationally acclaimed
musicians. Unlike many pop stars, John was able to sustain his popularity,
charting a Top 40 single every single year from 1970 to 1996. Elton has sold
more than 250 million albums plus over one hundred million singles, making him
one of the most successful artists of all time. He has more than 50 Top 40 hits
including seven consecutive no. 1 U.S. albums, 59 Top 40 singles, 16 Top 10, 4
no. 2 hits, and nine no. 1 hits. His success has had a profound impact on
popular music and has contributed to the continued popularity of the piano in
rock and roll. Stay with the Chords for Beginners blog! Also see: Easy guitar chords: Tenacious D.

C F G Em
It s a little bit funny this feeling inside
Am Am7 F
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
C G E Am
I don't have much money but, boy if I did
C
Dm F G
I'd buy a big house where, we both could live
C F G
Em...
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and, this one's for you
G Am Dm F
And you can tell
everybody, this is your song
G
Am Dm F
It may be quite
simple but, now that it's done
Am
I hope you don't
mind, I hope you don t mind,
Am7 F
That I put down in
words
C Dm F G
How wonderful life
is, while you're in the world
C F G
Em...
I sat on the roof and, kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well, they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind, while I wrote this song
It's for people like you, that keep it turned on
C F G
Em...
So excuse me forgetting but, these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're, green or they're blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes, I've ever seen
G Am Dm
F...
And you can tell
everybody, this is your song
It may be quite
simple but, now that it's done
I hope you don t
mind, I hope you don t mind,
That I put down in
words
How wonderful life
is, while you're in the world
Am Am7
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don t mind,
Am F
That I put down in words
C Dm F C
How wonderful life is, while you're in the world.

D G
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
D G
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you
crawled
D G
They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into
your brain
D G
They sent you on a treadmill and they made you change your
name
A A7
And it seems to me
you lived your life
D G
Like a candle in
the wind
D A
Never knowing who
to cling to when the rain set in
G Bm
And I would have
liked to've known you but I was just a kid
A G D
Your candle burned
out long before your legend ever did
D G D G...
Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you
paid
And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the
nude
A A7 D G...
And it seems to me
you lived your life
Like a candle in
the wind
Never knowing who
to cling to when the rain set in
And I would have
liked to've known you but I was just a kid
Your candle burned
out long before your legend ever did
D G D G...
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you
crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second
row
Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just
our Marilyn Monroe
A A7 D G...
And it seems to me
you lived your life
Like a candle in
the wind
Never knowing who
to cling to when the rain set in
And I would have
liked to've known you but I was just a kid
Your candle burned
out long before your legend ever did.
