Someone Saved My Life Tonight (chrom)

By: Elton John, Bernie Taupin
Key: G

-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 4 4 -4
When I think of those east end lights,
4 4 -5 4 4 -4 -4
Mug-gy nights the cur-tains drawn
-3 3 -4 -3 -3-4 -3 3
in the lit-tle down-stairs
4 4 4 4 4 -4 -4 -4
Pri-ma don-na lord you real-ly
-4 -3 3 3
should have been there
4 4 4 4 4 -5 6
Sit-ting like a prin-cess perched
-5 -4 4 -4 -3 -3 3
in her e-lec-tric chair
2 3 -3* -3 -3 3 3
And it’s one more beer and
-3 3 -2* 3 6 -6* -6*
I don’t hear you an-y-more
6 6 -6* -6* 7 7 6
We’ve all gone cra-zy late-ly
6 6 -6* -6* -6* 7 -6*
My friends out there roll-in��round
6 6 -5 -5
the base-ment floor

(CHORUS)
-5 6 6 -6* 7 -5
And some-one saved my life
3 3 -3 -4 4
to-night sug-ar bear
-5 6 6 -6* 7 -5
You al-most had your hooks
3 3 -3 -3 -4 4
in me did-n’t you dear
-4 -3 3 3 3 3 -3 3
You near-ly had me roped and tied
6 -6* -6* 6 -6* -6*
Al-tar-bound, hyp-no-tized
7 6 -5 -5 -4 6 -5 -5
Sweet free-dom whis-pered in my ear
3 3 6 -6* -6*
You’re a but-ter-fly
-5 6 -6* -6* 7 7 6 6
And but-ter-flies are free to fly
6 -6* 7 6 -6* 7 -4-33 3
Fly a-way, high a-way, bye bye

VERSE 2 same as 1
I never realised the passing
hours of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I’m strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
It’s four o’clock in the morning
Damn it listen to me good
I’m sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank god my music’s still alive

(CHORUS)
6 6 6 -6* 7 7 -6*
And I would have walked head on
6 6 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 -4 -3
in-to the deep end of a riv-er
3 3 3 2 3 2 -3
Cling-ing to your stocks and bonds
2 3 2 -3 -3 -3 -3 -4 3 3
Pay-ing your h. p. de-mands for ev-er
6 6 6 6 -6* 7 7
They’re com-ing in the morn-ing
-6* 6 -5 -5 -5 6 -4
with a truck to take me home
2 3 3 2 -3 3 3
Some-one saved my life to-night,
6 7 7 6 -7 7 7 6
Some-one saved my life to-night
2 3 3 2 -3 3 3
Some-one saved my life to-night
6 7 7 6 -7 7 7 6
Some-one saved my life to-night
3 3 3 2 -3 3 3
Some-one saved my life to-night
6 6 -6* 7 7
So save your strength and
-6* 7 -6* 6 6 -6* 7
run the field you play a-lone
