Alright, we're gonna do a song which we originally [D] recorded in 1970
[G#] and it never made it, so we decided to re-record it again.
And it still hasn't made it, but never mind.
It's a song from Yellow Brick Road, it's called Grey Seal.
Here we go.
[B]
[F#]
[F#m] [E] [B]
[Em] Why did you never [D] lie [G] to my love?
[Am] Why did it rain and [G] never stay?
Could we have viewed it [D] before?
[G] On [Em] the big [D] street in the [G] sunset
Put [C] my pride [G] in the lives of [C] [D] three
So why does [G] it stay the same?
[B]
Tell me, friend, tell me
I don't see you, you're so white
You see through our hearts, they don't really see
Why three of us, [F#]
tell [A] me, [E] [B] they see
[F#]
[C] [F#]
[Bm] I [C] [Em]
never learned why [D] idiots were [G] born
I [Am] was born [G] with you, and I was the one and only
I was born before [D] all I [G] could die
[C] I rewrote [G] some dull life from [D] the eye
[Am] All my [G] life is drawn from the eye
[B]
Tell me, friend, tell me
I don't see [F#] you, you're so white
[B]
You see through our hearts, they don't really see
Why three of us, [F#] tell [A] me, [E]
[B] they see
[G] [C]
[Bm] [C]
You're [Em] Mr.
Bell, girl, [D] I'm the inch [G]-hot man
You [C] were born by [G] the ticket shoes of your sister
I was born by the door of an eye
[C] The first [G] one in this world to die
[Am] And the [G] thing that's so hot, [D] so hot [G] tonight
[B] Tell me, friend, tell me
I don't see you, you're so white
You see through our hearts, they don't really see
Why three of us, [F#] tell [A] me, [E] [B] they see
Come on now!

With a special welcome for the people who just joined us on television
Welcome to you, welcome to the Old Grey Whistlefest
[G]
And [D] really, [D] in many ways, the most exciting program we've ever done
Because here we [G] are live at the Hammersmith Odeon
And for the benefit of the people [G#]
who are watching on television
If you tune into the Radio 2 VHS stereo receiver thing
Not only will you be able to watch the concert [G] on television
But listen to it in stereo too
All I need to say is let's have a really enormous round of applause
For the Art and John band
