Chords for Elton John "Daniel" and a story behind it

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I will now turn you over to your class.
Thank you. _
_ Good evening.
My name is Steve Nicholas.
I'm a third year playwright.
_ _ _ About 20 years ago, _ before the Punic Wars, when I was 20, _ _ _ a friend of mine passed away.
_ _ _ He was in a car accident.
His name was _ _ _ Danny Michaels.
And every time I hear Daniel, I think of him. _ _
_ I don't know if I'm being _ presumptuous.
_ _ [Abm] Maybe I am, but I was wondering if you could play that [N] song. _ _ _ _

_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ Daniel is traveling tonight [Dm] on a plane.
_ [C] _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [G] I can see the red _ taillights [Ab] heading for Spain.
[Am] _ _
I [F] _ _ can see [G] Daniel waving [Am] goodbye. _ _ _ _ _
God, [F] he looks like Daniel. _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ Must be the clouds in my [C] _ _ _ eyes. _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ They say Spain is pretty, though I've [Dm] never been. _ _ _
[Am] _ [G] _ And Daniel says it's the best place [Ab] he's _ ever [Am] seen. _
_ [F] _ And he should [G] know he's been there [Am] _ enough. _ _ _ _
[F] Oh, I miss Daniel. _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ Oh, I miss him [C] so _ much.
_ Oh, _ [F] _ Daniel, my brother, you [C] are looking down.
Do you [F] still feel the pain _ of [C] the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes [Am] have died, _ but you see more [F] than I.
_ _ [Ab] _ Daniel, [C] you're a star _ [A] in the face of [Dm] the _ _ [Gm] sky.

_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ Oh, _ [F] _ Daniel, my brother, you [C] are older than me.
Do you still [F] feel the pain _ of the [C] scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have [Am] died, but you see more than [Fm] I.
_ _ [Ab] Daniel, you're [C] a star _ [A] in the face of the [Dm] _ sky.
[G] _ _ _ _
