Sir Elton Hercules John (n. Pinner, Inglaterra; 25 de marzo de 1947), es un cantante, compositor y pianista británico de música pop y rock, nacido como Reginald Kenneth Dwight Harris.  A lo largo de sus más de 40 años de carrera musical, Elton John ha vendido más de 250 millones de discos y ha colocado más de 50 canciones en las listas de éxitos, convirtiéndose en uno de los mejores músicos de todos los tiempos.

The lyrics to this jazzy tune satirize the rock music scene of the early 1970's by telling the story of a fictitious band, &quot;Bennie and the Jets&quot;, that the narrator is supposedly a fan of.   The hand claps on this song were overdubbed by producer Gus Dudgeon to give the song a &quot;live&quot; sound, which complimented the mindless fanaticism of the song's narrator for the band in question.   This song was a major hit for John and songwriting partner Bernie Taupin, peaking at #1 on the pop charts in early 1974 and also providing John with his first top 40 R&amp;B entry.

Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for titbits like you on the

Verse 1:
F              C         F              C
There's a calm surrender to the rush of day
F                    C             Dm            G
when the heat of the rolling world can be turned away.
F            C      F              C
An enchanted moment and it sees me through
F                    Am               Bb              G
it's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you.

It's enough for this wide eyed wanderer that we got this far.

And can you feel the love tonight, how it's laid to rest.
F    C              Am7       F
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds

when the heart of this star-crossed voyager

 dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans.

             C
 But they'll never kill the thrills we got,
         Em
 burning up to the crocodile rock.

 we really thought the crocodile rock would last.

Elton John's Greatest Hits

G                      Am
From the day we arrive on the planet
      D                      G
And blinking, step into the sun
         Em                       Am
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
         F                   D
More to do than can ever be done

G                   Am
Some say eat or be eaten
        D              G 
Some say live and let live
    Em                     Am
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
          F                          D
You should never take more than you give

                  G
In the circle of life
                   F
It's the wheel of fortune
                  C
It's the leap of faith
                 D
It's the band of hope
                 G         E
Till we find our place
              Am
On the path unwinding
D          G   C            D
In the circle, the circle of life

Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
		     E                                    A
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled

They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain
		   E					   A
They sent you on a treadmill and they made you change your name

Too Low For Zero 

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#

Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day

I wheel my bike off the train,

Up the North Trade Road,

Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
