This is a great song. Elton John's bassist is quite amazing...
not just on this song...but on all of his songs!!
Standard Tuning
E, A, D, G for you beginners...;)
I like to play this with my fingers...but, with a pick or however will
be up to you, of course.
Intro : Piano and singing for about 8 bars. Come in when EJ sings
"I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife..."
Then...

...continue on and on and on until fade...just ad. lib with the
same notes as in the chorus!
/3\ = Triplet
h = half notes
s = sixteenth notes
I hope this helps...and I hope it's not tough to read or anything.
It's my first tab ever...so, email me some feedback.
I believe this is one of the first Rocketman tabs out there too.
So, ya...email me mcooterson@hotmail.com Thanks everyone.
