Elton John


Tom: F

Intro:
F Bb/D F Bb/D F Bb/D F Bb/D


       F      Bb/D   F
Cast a pebble on the water
          F/Eb            Bb/D
Watch the ripples gently spreading
     F               Am7
Tiny daughter of the Camargue
        Gm7             Bbadd9
We were meant to be together

        F    Bb/D     F   
We were made for one another
     F7               Bb
In a time it takes to grow up
   Bb/D          Gm7    (4 more beats)
If only we were old enough
     Am7        Bbadd9          F  Bb/D F 
Then they might leave us both alone 

Chorus:
           Bb   C          F  Bb/D F Bb/D*F
So take my hand    in your hand
Bb            C        F    Bb/D F 
Say it's great to be alive
         Bb       C
No one's going to find us
   F      C/E      Dm7
No matter how they try
         Ebadd9        Bb/D
No one's going to find us 
     Gm7          F/A  Bb          (Intro)
It's wonderful so wild beneath the sky

Sleeping in the open
See the shadows softly moving
Take a train towards the south lands
Our time was never better
We shall pass the sights of splendor
On the door of a new life
It had to happen soon I guess
Whether it is wrong or it is right

Chorus: 

We learned to be so graceful
Watching wild horses running
And from those agile angels
We knew the tide was turning
For we watched as on the skyway
The herons circled slowly
While we mere mortals watched them fly
Our sleepless eyes grew heavy
