Chords

This is a two part song really, but since I'm after the singing bit I'm only going to do part two, Love Lies Bleeding. The fade out from Funeral For A Friend is just two chords repeated... A / Bbmaj7 / The introduction to Love Lies Bleeding goes like this... A // C // G // F / G / The F and the second G only get half a bar each.
    A
The roses in the window box

            E
Have tilted to one side

A
Everything about this house

            Bm
Was born to grow and die

      A                                    Bm    D
Oh it doesn't seem a year ago to this very day

             A
You said I'm sorry honey

           E
If I don't change the pace

  D                         E    F#m
I can't face another day

              Bm             E
And love lies bleeding in my hand

      F#m                  Bm               E
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man

      F#m                                Bm
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan

       C#m
But my guitar couldn't hold you

     D                 Dm
So I split the baaaa-a-ha-a-nd

F#m       E              A          C        G...  (Introduction here)
Love lies bleeding in my hands

  A
I wonder if those changes

            E
Have left a scar on you

     C#m             D
Like all the burning hoops of fire

             Bm                B7
That you and I passed through

         A
You're a bluebird on a telegraph line

                    Bm       D
I hope you're happy now

            A                    E
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl

       D                             E     F#m
You'll make it back somehow
Chorus (About now Elton does his thing with the piano, and there's a guitar solo but the chords are the same as for the intro) Chorus There's more singing over the chorus, and then a guitar solo fade with the chord pattern from the intro.
