Elton John – The Wide-Eyed And Laughing (Guitar)

Gm                                        Ab
Are you still in control of the boat that you row

Bb                                   Cm
Or do you still cling to me when its sinking

Gm                            Ab
I never condemned you, I only consoled you

Bb                         Cm
When candlelight made me a King

Fm                             G
For the wide-eyed and laughing passed like a season

Ab        Gm         Cm
Erasing a passion to sin

Fm                              G
For no one knew better than the tealeaves and the tarots

Ab                     Ddim          Ab       Eb   Fm           Cm
That the wide-eyed and laughing were just one step ahead of the wind

Gm                                                    Ab
And the hearts that you played on the porch swing for me

Bb                               Cm
Was a song that I'd heard in the past

Gm                               Ab
For I had an audience somewhere inside you

Bb                          Cm
That applauded whenever you laughed

Gm                               Ab
Gone is a word that I now rarely use

Bb                                 Cm
Though sometime in the course of a day

Gm                          Ab
I go racing back like a man possessed

Fm                                              G
By the wide-eyed and laughing daughters of some different age
