Writing
Elton John
Capo: 3 (to original key)
Notes: This is a compromise chart. I'm trying to make a piano-based
song work for solo acoustic guitar. There are a few 2/4 measures
hidden in the recording, usually when the chart indicates you should
hold a chord [<>]. The G2-C2 pattern is an abbreviation for an
instrumental line that walks up and down: (g) (a) (b) (c) (b) (a)
[4x]

Waking up to washing up, making up your bed

La-zy days, my ra-zor blade could use a better edge

And we were oh oh, so you know not the kind to dawdle

Stifling yawns on Sundays as the weekends disappear
G2 C2 G2 C2
We could stretch our legs if we'd half a mind
G2 C2 G2 C2
. But don't disturb us if you hear us trying
Dm6 E7 Am
To instigate the structure of another line or two
