Chords

by Elton John from the album Too Low for Zero For the intro and instrumental parts, I recommend playing around with a Cm harmonic scale (include B natural) [Intro] Cm Fm Cm Fm [Verse]
      Cm
We're caught up in a web, you and I

      Eb/G           Ab
Since Crystal came between us

    Fm                               Cm
The knots of friendship seem to be untied

       Cm
And it hurts me most to cheat and that's no lie

        Eb/G             Ab
She can swing us both forever

       Fm                 G7             Cm
In the long run she's the one who must decide
[Chorus]
           Ab        Eb
And if she leaves me handle her with care

Bb
Don't hurt little Crystal

           Ab                      Eb
And if she calls you long distance just be there

Bb
Oh Crystal

    Cm                    Cm(maj7)/B
The world is your oyster, you're a pearl

    Cm7/Bb              F7/A
But he's a jewel and my friend

    Ab                    Bb                           Eb
I'm sure that in the end, Crystal you'll be his little girl

Fm7  Ab     Bb  Eb
Oh          Cry-stal
[Verse]
       Cm
You're stronger than me but I'm sure

         Eb/G                Ab
That the fight would fall to no one

    Fm                                  Cm
The cold hard truth is stronger than us all

       Cm
And it breaks my heart to see us go this far

           Eb/G                     Ab
We're just captives in our separate cells

        Fm                 G7                 Cm
And without her there's no peace behind these bars
[Chorus]
           Ab        Eb
And if she leaves me handle her with care

Bb
Don't hurt little Crystal

           Ab                      Eb
And if she calls you long distance just be there

Bb
Oh Crystal
