Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the album Madman Across The Water *This one is for all you lazy tubs out there
        C/G                     Am9                     Bbmaj7
If it came to pass that they should ask

                      C
What could I tell them

                    C/G          Am9                     Bbmaj7
Would they criticize behind my back

                          C
Maybe I should let them

F       C                    Am7
Oh if only then and only then

D9                                       Dm7/G    Gsus4
They would understand

                       C                  F
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy

          C/G              F    C
Into a full-blooded city man

C/G
If they could face it

Am9              Bbmaj7
I could take it in their eyes

         C       F/C        C      F/C
Oh I know I'd make it

C/G
Their tiny minds

        Am7           Bbmaj7          F
And sacred cows just fake it

    C                    Am7
If only then and only then

D9                             Dm7/G     Gsus4
They would understand

                       C   C/E        F
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy

           C/G    G7/B       C                C7/E  F  C/G  G7/B
Into a full-blooded city man

        Bbm                         Eb7/Bb
But I know the way they want me

          Abmaj7
In the way they publicize

Bbm                              Eb7/Bb
If they could turn their focus off

           Abmaj7
To the image in their eyes

C/G                  G9sus4      C/G                     F
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
Maybe it would help them, help them understand Maybe it would help them, help them understand
           C                  F
That a full-blooded city boy

               C/G             F     C
Is now a full-blooded city man

C/G
Do do do do do do do do do

Am9
Do do do do do do do do do

Bbmaj7                                    C  F/C  C F/C
Do do do do do do do do do do

C/G
Oh my soul

Am9
Oh my soul

Bbmaj7
Oh my soul
