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!

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.

A                  D
It's a human sign
G                       E
When things go wrong
A                                D
When the scent of her lingers
G                          E
And temptation's strong
                      B
Into the boundary
G                       A
Of each married man
                                 B
Sweet deceit comes calling
G                     A
And negativity lands
 A               D
Cold, cold heart
G                     E
Hard done by you
A                             D
Some things lookin' better, baby
G                  A
Just passin' through
 A                 D
And it's no sacrifice
                        G
Just a simple word
                          A
It's two hearts livin'
                             D
In two separate world
But, it's no sacrifice
       G
No sacrifice
             A            G  A   D
It's no sacrifice, at all
A  D  G  E...
Mutual misunderstandin'
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy hurts
A  D  G  E
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things lookin' better, baby
Just passin' through
A  D  G  A...
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts livin'
In two separate world
But, it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice, at all
A  D  G  E
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things lookin' better, baby
Just passin' through
A  D  G  A...
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts livin'
In two separate world
But, it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all (4x)

Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science, I don't understand
It's just my job five days a-week
Rocket man - - - rocket man
G  C  G  C...
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Til touchdown brings me 'round to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burnin' out his up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time.

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.
