Chords for Elton John - Bitter Fingers (1974) With Lyrics!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm going on the [E] circuit, _ _
[F#m] I'm doing all [A] the [Bm] clubs, _
_ And I really [E] need a song, boys, [A] to stir those [D] workers up, _
_ [A] And get their wives to [E] sing it with me, _ [F#m] _ just like in [A] the _ [Bm]
pubs,
_ When [F#m] I've worked [D] the good old pubs [E] in Stepney.
_ [D] _ _
_ _ [A] Oh, could you knock a [E] line or two _ [F#m] _ together for a [A]
friend,
[D] _ _ _ Send a melody [E] to endear us in [A] _ with a happy [D] end,
_ _ [A] _ And we need a [E] tune to _ open _ [F#m] our season at South [A] End,
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ [Bm] _ [E] Can you help us?
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ It's hard to write [C] a song with [G] bare-bones [C] fingers,
So much [Em] it proves [Am] those blues are telling you why,
[F] _ Those old-time hearts [C] and their mottled cheeks and [G] stouted chaps,
[C] They'd have to keep up with this hollow [Am] party life,
[Dm] _ It seems to me a [C] change of vision's very needed,
[F] _ To try our [C] luck and light it up,
Take [F] me down, go along, [C] there's hot and hot stuff,
It's real up in this level spot, [E] a flaming star, [G#] a flaming star,
[A] I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ like the warm [E] blue flame, _
_ [F#m] the hazy heated [A] breeze, _
_ [Bm] It loosens up [A] the muscles and forces you to [D] sing, _
_ [Bm] You [A] know it's just another hit and [E] run [A] from the Tin Pan [D] Alley Twins,
_ _ [A] There's a chance that [E] one day _ [F#m] you might write [A] a stand-in, lads,
[Bm] So [D] turn them [E] out big and fast, [A] and we'll still pat [D] your backs,
_ [A] _ Cause we need [E] what we can get, _ [F#m] to launch [A] another dozen acts,
[Bm] _ Oh, [F#m] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [C] it's _
_ [F] _ hard to write [C] a song with bare-bones fingers,
Sometimes it proves [Am] so few, they're telling you why,
[F] _ Those old-time hearts [C] and their mottled cheeks and stouted chaps,
They'd have to keep up with this [Em] hollow [Am] party [C] life,
[Dm] _ _ It seems to me [C] a change of vision's very [F] needed,
_ To try [C] our luck and light it up,
[F] Take me down, go along, [C] there's hot and hot stuff,
It's real up in this level spot, [E] a flaming star, [G#] a flaming star,
[F] _ I'll be riding [C] from the pinnacle,
_ Sometimes it [G] proves so few, [Am] they're telling you why,
[F] _ Those old-time hearts [C] and their mottled cheeks and [G] stouted chaps,
[C] They'd have to keep up with this [G] hollow [Am] party life,
[Dm] _ _
It [C] seems to me a change of vision's very [F] needed, _
