Chords for ELTON JOHN about 2CELLOS

go on YouTube and look at Smooth Criminal by the two cellos.
_ So I think I looked at it on the spot.
Someone had a computer and we looked at it
and I was [D] absolutely astonished.
I'm [A] so proud of you.
[B] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _
[Gb] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ So [G] you did [F] what? _ _
_ [Dm] And I said [C] on the spot, oh my God, this is incredible.
I've never seen cello players play like this.
I've never seen cello players rock out.
_ And I said, God, I've got to have them
in my head [A] and straight. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [F] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ [A] _ _ [B] _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] They agreed to come and rehearse with the band
and they joined the band.
_ _ [C] They'd already had this first record coming out,
the first two cellos record. _ _ _
And to make a long story short,
they fitted in so well with the band
because a lot [Cm] of the music that I do is orchestral based.
And they added not only [Bb] musical brilliance,
but they added youth to the band.
They [Eb] added adrenaline _ _ [Bb] because, you know, we're not young.
We still have plenty of enthusiasm,
but there's something about [C] young musicians _
_ that give you something else.
And they just kicked our ass, [F] basically.
_ And [G] they fitted in so well and they were such [C] great people. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ [D] _ _ _ [Am] _ [F] _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ There's _ [Abm] _ going to be a time soon when they go off
and fly away and do their own thing
because they're becoming _ big stars [Bm] in Japan.
They're getting a big name for themselves.
[B] Their money's going up.
[Db] Their career is going [Gbm] forward, which is fantastic.
[Dm] _ _
I absolutely [F] love these guys.
The way they play together,
_ [Bb] if you go and check it out on YouTube
and you [Dm] not only see the [Bb] rock music that they play,
[Ab] but also the classical music they play,
there's a [Cm] kind of _
[G] homoerotic,
even though [Bm] they're not gay in a _ [G] million years,
but it's the most beautiful homoerotic way
[D] they play together.
They're [E] in sync.
It's like Bernie Taupin and myself.
_ [Bm] _
He writes lyrics, [G] I write melodies.
I don't know why it [D] works, but it works.
With these two [E] guys, they just play so [Abm] beautifully together.
They seem to know what [E] either one of them's going to do
at the next [B] moment.
And that, musically, is [F] a gift.
It doesn't [G] happen very [Abm] often.
The spontaneity that they have [E] _
is incredible
and [B] they seem to have it together.
_ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] And they've appeared on Glee,
they've appeared on Ellen DeGeneres,
they've appeared on Tonight Show and played people like that.
_ What they're doing is getting their head of steam up.
And _ with this album, I think it will really _ put them
in the forefront of what's going on.
They are unique. _
There's no one like them out there.
It's like watching Jimi [Bb] Hendrix.
Whenever they [C] play a live show with us,
they open the show [G] and they go out there
and they play four songs.
And I've never heard a live [Dm] act, an opening [Ab] act,
get standing ovations after every song.
[N] It's unique.
I've never seen that.
I used to do pretty well myself,
but they get a standing ovation after [Gm] every song.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[A] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _
[A] _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[C] Because _ no one's seen things like this [N] before.
You know, Yo-Yo Ma is a brilliant cello player
and everything like that.
He's taken the world of cellos one step further.
They're taking it [E] another step further. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] I think it's amazing. _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [N] Yeah, one day they're going to fly away from me
and they'll be the two cellos on their own
and they'll be doing gigs on their own anyway.
But what I mean to say is they'll outgrow me
and they'll outgrow the band
and they'll become a huge act in their own right.
_ If you really want to see something exciting,
go and [C] see them live [Gm] because it really is [Am] astonishing.
I can't remember seeing anything as [C] exciting
as since I saw Jimi [D] Hendrix at [C] the Marquee Club
[Bb] way back in the 60s.
[A] _
_ [G] So that's my take on the two [Eb] cellos. _
[G] Steppen, Hauser, [F] Lucas [Gm] Ilitch.
Two brilliant young men [B] from [Eb] Croatia. _ _
[G] _ Watch [C] this space.
