Someone Saved My Life Tonight

SOMEONE SAVED MY LIFE TONIGHT      ELTON JOHN

KEY OF G


  5  5   5    5   5    -5   -5   5
When I think of those east end lights, 

 -5 -5    6    -5  -5   5     5
Mug-gy nights the cur-tains drawn

-4  4   5   -4  -4    5    -4
in the lit-tle room down-stairs

 -5 -5  -5 -5  -5   5    5   5
Pri-ma don-na lord you real-ly 

   5    -4    4    4
should have been there

 -5  -5   -5 -5   -5   6    -6
Sit-ting like a prin-cess perched 

 6  5 -5  5   -4    -4
in her e-lec-tric chair

-3b   4   5   -4   -4   4
And it's one more beer and 

-4  4    -3   4  -6 -7 -7
I don't hear you an-y-more

  -6   -6  -7   -7  7   7  -6   
We've all gone cra-zy late-ly

-6    -6    -7   -7   -7   7    -7
My friends out there roll-ing round 

 -6  -6   6     6
the base-ment floor

(CHORUS)

 6   -6   -6   -7   7   6
And some-one saved my life 

 4   4    -4  5  -5
to-night sug-ar bear

 6  -6  -6   -7   7    6
You al-most had your hooks 

 4  4  -4  -4  5   -5
in me did-n't you dear

 5   -4   4  4   4   4    -4   4
You near-ly had me roped and tied

-6  -7   -7    -6 -7   -7
Al-tar-bound, hyp-no-tized

  7    -6   6    6    5   -6  6  6
Sweet free-dom whis-pered in my ear

  4    4  -6  -7  -4
You're a but-ter-fly

 6   -6  -7   -7   7    7  -6  -6
And but-ter-flies are free to fly

 -6 -7 7    -6 -7  7    5   4
Fly a-way, high a-way, bye bye

VERSE 2 same as 1
I never realised the passing 
hours of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the morning
Damn it listen to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank god my music's still alive

(CHORUS)

 -6 -6  -6   -7    7      7  -7
And I would have walked head on 

-6 -6  6   6    6   6 -6 5  4
in-to the deep end of a riv-er

  4    4   4  -3b    4   -3b  -4
Cling-ing to your stocks and bonds

-3b  4   -3b -4 -4 -4  -4    5   4  4
Pay-ing your h. p. de-mands for ev-er

   -6    -6  -6 -6  -7   7   7
They're com-ing in the morn-ing 

  -7 -6   6   6   6  -6   5
with a truck to take me home

 -3b  4    4  -3b  -4   4   4
Some-one saved my life to-night,

 -6   7    7   -6  -8   7   7
Some-one saved my life to-night

 -3b  4    4  -3b  -4   4   4
Some-one saved my life to-night

 -6   7    7   -6  -8   7   7
Some-one saved my life to-night

  4   4    4  -3b  -4   4   4
Some-one saved my life to-night

-6  -6   -7     7      7
So save your strength and 

 -7  7    -7   -6  -6 -7  7
run the field you play a-lone

ENJOY!!!
