Elton John – Tinderbox (Guitar)

E                G#m
Nostradamus said I predict

         C#m               E/B
That the world will end at half past six

A                  G7          E
What he didn't say was exactly when

       G                A   E
Was he listening to the radio?

       C                B7    E    B
Was he listening to the government?

        E              G#m
Well he got us spooked anyway

          C#m               E/B
We'd been running hot up until today

      A                   G7         E
But a wind of change blew across our sales

        G             A       E
We were coasting on a winning streak

        G               A     E
We were kings until the power failed

           D                 F#m
We've been living in a tinderbox

    Bm                     D/A
And two sparks can set the whole thing off

G                    D/F#
Rubbing up together around the clock

F                              C/E
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock

Eb                       Bb C    D        F#m
You and me together in a tinderbox (tinderbox)

Bm                     D/A
Two sparks can set the whole thing off

G                    D/F#
Rubbing up together around the clock

F                              C/E
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock

Eb                       Bb C    D
You and me together in a tinderbox

E              G#m
 Godzilla came in disguise

C#m                            E/B
Tore the building down right before our eyes

A               G7                 E
 Kept the needle out of the red balloon

       G                A      E
Was he worried we might go too far

      G               A        E
Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June

    E                    G#m
The sun descends down in Mexico

        C#m               E/B
While a fancy car back on Savile Row

A                       G7       E
Shows the price of fame leads to overkill

G                A       E
Things are gonna have to change

     G               A        E
Some holes along the road get filled

           D                 F#m

F#                                   G#
Pressure's gonna cook us if we don't unlock it

C#m                  C#m/B
Guns going off if we don't uncock it

      F#m                    G#7
We've gotta climb out of the other one's pocket

         C#m                     C#m/B     A     B
Or we're gonna burn, out on this beautiful rocket

D      F#m
