Elton John

Into The Old Mans Shoes

Elton John


Tom: Ab

Anti-scriptum: I know it'd be better to put the chords in bemol, like Eb, but I've had
no time to do it... but if you want, the bemol chords are: Db, Eb, Ab and Bb.

The stuff: G#, D#, C#, D#

G#                 D#                      C#                  D#
I'm moving out of Tombstone, yeah with the sun behind my back
G#                   D#              C#
I'm tired of people talking of things that I lack
A#                          C#             G#
Ever since a week ago, the day he passed away
                          D#            C#                         D#
I've been taking too much notice of the things they've had to say

G#                   D#                C#                 D#
And all they say is you ain't half the man he used to be
G#                      D#                 C#
He had strength and he worked his life to feed his family
A#                                      C#              G#
So if that's the way it has to be, I'll say goodbye to you
                    D#             C#                       D#
I'm not the guy, or so it seems to fill my old man's shoes

G#                        D#        C#
Like I'm a wicked way of life, the kind that should be tamed
        G#            D#                 C#
They'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains
        G#          A#       C#                   G#                     
Oh it's hard and I can't see what they want me to do Lord, Lord
                             F#           C#        G#     D#  C#  D#
They seem to think I should step into the old man's shoes

G#, D#, C#, D#

G#, D#, C#, D#
G#, D#, C#
A#, C#, G#
G#, D#, C#, D#

G#                        D#        C#
Like I'm a wicked way of life, the kind that should be tamed
        G#            D#                 C#
They'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains
        G#          A#       C#                   G#                     
Oh it's hard and I can't see what they want me to do Lord, Lord
                             F#           C#        G#
They seem to think I should step into the old man's shoes
