Elton John – Someone Saved My Life Tonight (Ukulele)

G                     C        G       C     
When I think of those East End lights, muggy nights

G                     F               C
Curtains drawn in the little room downstairs

F                           G               
Prima Donna Lord you really should have been there

F                       G              C
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair

         Cm                                 C  A7
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore

      C              A7
We've all gone crazy lately

   C                 A7                C        G
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor

        D
ooooooooo

    C                G             Am    C    Am C
And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear

    C               G           Am         C
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear

G          C                G
You nearly had me roped and tied

C                 A7
Altar bound, hypnotized

      G                 C
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear

         A7
You're a butterfly

    C               A7
And butterflies are free to fly

C         G          A7  C
Fly away, high away, bye bye

C       G           Am  G   F
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

G                  C       G        C       
Never realised the passing hours of evening showers

G                  F             C
Slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams

    F                         G
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene

F               G               C          
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating Queen

     Cm                  C
It's four o'clock in the morning

         A7
Damn it, listen to me good

    C               A7
I'm sleeping with myself tonight

C                    A7             C      G
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive

         D
Ah ah ah ah ah ah

    C                G             Am    C    Am C
And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear

    C               G           Am         C
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear

G          C                G
You nearly had me roped and tied

C                 A7
Altar bound, hypnotized

      G                 C
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear

         A7
You're a butterfly

    C               A7
And butterflies are free to fly

C         G          A7  C
Fly away, high away, bye bye

C       G           Am  G   F
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Am               C                       G               C
And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river

A7                           
Clinging to your stocks and bonds

A7          C               
Paying your H.P. demands forever

Am            C              Em               G                
Coming in the morning with a truck to take me home

A7               C             Em               C
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight

A7               C             Em               C
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight

A7               C
Someone saved my life tonight

   Em                     C                 A7    C
So save your strength and run the field you play alone

    C                G             Am    C    Am C
And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear

    C               G           Am         C
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear

G          C                G
You nearly had me roped and tied

C                 A7
Altar bound, hypnotized

      G                 C
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear

         A7
You're a butterfly

    C               A7
And butterflies are free to fly

C         G          A7  C
Fly away, high away, bye bye

G               G(barr 3rd fret*) G                  C
Someone saved, someone saved,    someone saved, my life tonight  7x
