Elton John – Measure Of A Man (Guitar)

C
These battered hand are all you own

Am
This broken heart has turned to stone

F			  C
Go hang your glory on the wall

Am				Em
There comes a time when castles fall

F	Em	Dm	C		G
And all that's left is shifting in the sand

C				   Dm
You're out of time, you're out of place

	      Em
Look at your face

	   F		G	C
That's the measure of a man

C
This coat that fits you like a glove

Am
These dirty streets you learned to love

F			     C
So welcome back my long lost friend

Am			     Em
You've been to hell and back again

F	Em	Dm	C	     G
God alone knows how you crossed that span

C			      Dm
Back on the beat, back to the start

	      Em
Trust in your heart

	   F		G	C
That's the measure of a man

C			Dm		    Em
It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand

	 F		G	C
It's the things you understand

Am				Em
Permanent ties from which you once ran

	   F		G	D#	Cm
That's the measure of a man

D#
You've come full circle, now you're home

Cm
Without the gold, without the chrome

G#				D#
And this is where you've always been

	    Cm		     G#
You had to lose so you could win

G#	Gm	Fm	D#		A#
And rise above your troubles while you can

	    D#			Cm
Now you can love, now you can lose

	    Gm
Now you can choose

	   G#		A#	D#
That's the measure of a man

D#			Fm		Gm
It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand

	 G#		A#	D#
It's the things you understand
