Writing

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


| G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 |

G2       C2       G2    C2       G2        C2
Is there anything left, .  maybe steak and eggs
G2     C2    Dm6         E7             Am
Waking up to washing up, making up your bed
Am Em  D <>     D6 D   C <>        Am7 <>      |G2  C2 |      
La-zy  days, my ra-zor blade could use a better edge

| G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 |

G2    C2       G2              C2      G2   C2        G2 
It's enough to make you laugh, . relax in a nice cool bath
C2    Dm6           E7                      Am
Inspiration for navigation of our new found craft
Am Em   D <>    D6  D    C <>     Am7 <>         |G2   C2 | 
I  know you and you know me, it's always half and half

| G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 |

F#7                Bm7         E7              A
And we were oh oh, so you know not the kind to dawdle
G#m7               C#7         F#7      C#7  F    F#
Will the things we wrote today sound as good tomorrow
Bm7              E7      Amaj7          F#m7
We will still be writing in approaching years
G#m7              C#7            F#7      C#7  F#
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
      Am        Em       D <>      D6   D     C <>             
Cause writing's lighting up, and I like life enough to see it through

| G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 | G2 C2 |

F#7                Bm7         E7              A

Will the things we wrote today sound as good tomorrow
Bm7              E7      Amaj7          F#m7
We will still be writing in approaching years
G#m7              C#7            F#7      C#7  F#
Stifling yawns on Sundays as the weekends disappear
