Elton John – Grow Some Funk Of Your Own (Guitar)

       G                                C/G        G
Yeah I looked at my watch and it said a quarter to five

              C                   Cm    C
The headlines screamed that I was still alive

  Cm  C
I couldn't understand it

  F                        G F/A Gdim/Bb G/B  F/C  C
I thought I died last night

     G                     C/G    G
Oh I dreamed I'd been in a border town

               C             Cm   C
In a little cantina that the boys had found

      Cm C
I was desperate to dance

F                           G C/G  G C/G  G C/G F/G  F/G C/G
Just to dig the local sounds

Dm7               G
When along came a señorita

Dm7                       G/F
She looked so good that I had to meet her

      C/G                   D/A               G/B
I was ready to approach her with my English charm

         C     Bb       F/A Gm     F C/E Dm C            G F/A Gdim/Bb G/B  F/C  C
When her brass knuckled boy-friend grabbed  me by the arm

            A7   D/A  A            A   A A/C# A/E
And he said grow some funk of your own a-mi__-go

A7   D/A  A            A
Grow some funk of your own

D
We no like to with the gringo fight

          E
But there might be a death in Mexico tonight

             A7   D/A  A            A   A A/C# A/E
If you can't grow some funk of your own a-mi__-go

A7   D/A  A            A
Grow some funk of your own

F#
Take my advice, take the next flight

    E               E7sus     E9      D
And grow your funk, grow your funk at home

       G                           C/G        G
Well I looked for support from the rest of my friends

                    C                  Cm     C
For their vanishing trick they get ten out of ten

  C
I knelt to pray

        F               C/F   G/F  G F/A Gdim/Bb G/B  F/C  C
Just to see if he would comprehend

     G                     C/G    G
Oh I dreamed I'd been in a border town

               C             Cm   C

I'll grow some funk,

F/C                       C
Yeah, I'll grow some funk of my own.
