Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the Album The One C Fm/C Db/Ab Eb+9/Bb
C                        F                G       C 
The church bells ring out morning glory

                    F                    G            C    
When summer bends to the winter's rage

Am    F                           G     C
Emily walks through the cemetery

Am        F             G               C        F  C 
Passed a dog in an unmarked grave

C                F            G        C
The old girl hobbles, nylons sagging

                   F           G      C            
Talks to her sisters in the ground

Am      F            G                     C
I saw a lie in the mirror this morning

Am         F              G        Am   G/B
I heard a prophesy all around

      F/C C                          Fm/C
And Emily they come and go

           Db/Ab     Eb/Bb                        F6   
The shadows     and the distant sounds

    F/C   C                  Fm/C
But Emily don't be afraid

                       Db/Ab  Eb/Bb                        F6 
When the weight of angels weighs you down
Emily prays to a faded hero In a little frame clutched to her gown Hears the voice of promise in his memory Tonight's the night they let the ladder down In a cage sits a gold canary By a wicker chair and a rosewood loom As a soul ascends abord the evening Canary sings to an empty room
