Elton John – Hymn 2000 (Guitar)

Ab               Db/Ab
   She chose the soft  center

                              Fm/C
And took it to bed with her mother

        Ab       Gb
And the ideal confusion

    Db        Ab
Was just an illusion

   Bbm                      Fm/C  Cm
To gain further news of her bro - ther

Ab                   Db/Ab
  And the comfort of mother

                              Fm/C
Was just an appeal for protection

        Ab            Gb
For the cat from next door

          Db       Ab
Was found later at four

Bbm                Fm/C   Cm  Bb/D  C/E
    In surgical dissect - ion

F             Eb
  And I don't want to be

    Bb         F
The son of any freak

    F               Eb
Who for a chocolate center

    Bb               F
Can take you off the street

    F                       A7
For soon they'll plough the desert

        Dm    F/C        Bb
And God knows where I'll be

   F       C/E   Dm  C       G/B
Collecting submarine numbers

                          C
On the main street of the sea

F             Eb
  And I don't want to be the son

Ab           Db/Ab
   The Vicar       is thicker

                                   Fm/C
And I just can't see through to him

         Ab      Gb
For his cardinal sings

Db                 Ab
   A collection of  hymns

         Bbm                      Fm/C  Cm
And a collection of coins is made after

Ab                   Db/Ab
   And who wrote the Bible

                  Fm/C
Was it Judas or Pilate

     Ab             Gb
Well one cleans his hands

          Db        Ab
While the other one hangs

    Bbm                 Fm/C   Cm  Bb/D  C/E
But still I continue to stand

F             Eb
  And I don't want to be

    Bb         F
The son of any freak

    F               Eb

Yes, I don't want to be the son

Of any freak
