Elton John – England And America (Guitar)

Cm                   F
Had some good times jumping ship

     Bb            Eb
And showing up on shore

      Cm               F
Just pocket change to get us by

   Bb                      Bb7
A little bit of grease to help us slide

 Eb                   F
Give us an inch we'd take a mile

       Gm      F       Eb       C/E F
And squeeze under the door

 Cm                    F
Caught some big ones, reeled 'em in

     Bb             Eb
And hung 'em out to dry

      Cm             F
From little fish to bigger things

   Bb              Bb7
A welcome push, an empty swing

 Eb                     F
Given the chance we'd start to sing

     Gm        F       Eb     C/E F
And watch the world go by

           Bb
And I've tried to take my time

            Cm
To get back up, hold on and climb

         F
Into the arms you'll always find me

                 Bb     Ab Eb
In England and America

       Bb
Feels good to hold, to not let go

      Cm
This safety net still hangs below

          F
And if I fall it's good to know

                      Bb       Ab Eb  Bb Ab Eb
There's England and America

  Cm                   F
Showed our roots from time to time

    Bb            Eb
And used it to ignite

     Cm             F
Our wilder side to get us through

    Bb                Bb7
To push and pull and come unglued

   Eb               F
A mixture of red, white and blues

    Gm           F         Eb    C/E F
Had run right through our life

           Bb
And I've tried to take my time

            Cm
To get back up, hold on and climb

         F
Into the arms you'll always find me

                 Bb     Ab Eb
In England and America

       Bb
Feels good to hold, to not let go

      Cm
This safety net still hangs below

          F
And if I fall it's good to know

                      Bb       Ab Eb  Bb Ab Eb
There's England and America

           Bb
And I've tried to take my time

            Cm
To get back up, hold on and climb

         F
Into the arms you'll always find me

There's England and America

Ab   Eb           Bb
