Capo: 3

Writing Elton John Capo: 3 (to original key) Notes: This is a compromise chart. I'm trying to make a piano-based song work for solo acoustic guitar. There are a few 2/4 measures hidden in the recording, usually when the chart indicates you should hold a chord [<>]. The G2-C2 pattern is an abbreviation for an instrumental line that walks up and down: (g) (a) (b) (c) (b) (a) [4x] | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 |
