Where To Now St. Peter

Elton John


Tom: D

Intro: B Bm7/A E B (2x) 

B               A  G   E        B
  I took myself a blue           canoe, 
      D     A    E  B
and I floated like a leaf. 
B                A  G   E       B
Dazzlin', dancin', half           enchanted 
D      A    E     B
   in my Merlin sleep. 

G   A       Bm
Crazy was the feeling, 
G      A     Bm
restless were my eyes, 
G      A           E
  insane they took the paddles, 
G                    F#sus4  F#
  my arms they paralyzed. 

Chorus: 
   Bm       D
So,  where to now, St. Peter, 
E                G
if it's true I'm in  your hands 
Bm          D
  I may not be  a Christian, 
E                 G
but I've done all one man can. 
Bm                     D
  I understand I'm on the road 
      E                   G
where all that was is gone, 
   Bm     D
so where to now, 
     Esus4
St. Peter, 
      G     A          Esus4
show me which road I'm on, 
               B Bm7/A E B B Bm7/A E B
which road I'm on. 

Took a sweet young foreign gun, 
this lazy life is short. 
Something for nothing always ending 
with a bad report. 

Dirty was the daybreak, 
sudden was the change, 
in such a silent place as this, 
beyond the rifle range.
