Bennie and the Jets Elton John Start on E The other tabs I have found are close but if you want the chords to sound exactly like the recording, this should get you there.This song isn't really difficult to play as long as you're comfortable with barre chords. I wrote out the chord formations I use but if you know a better way, go ahead and use them. I think the way i wrote out the chords make the transistions a little easier. Anyway, enjoy! Chords Used: *Note: I find the easiest way to play the G#aug is to act like your playing an F chord, except one string up, and then add your pinkie on the 4th fret of the low E string* Gmaj7 Fmaj7 Am7 D7 G G#aug Em7 Bm7 C C7 -------|------|------|-----|-------|-------|-----|-----|-----|------| --12---|--10--|---5--|--7--|---3---|---1---|--8--|--7--|--8--|--8---| --11---|--9---|---5--|--5--|---4---|---1---|--7--|--7--|--9--|--9---| --12---|--10--|---5--|--7--|---5---|---2---|--9--|--7--|--10-|--8---| --10---|--8---|---7--|--5--|---5---|---3---|--7--|--9--|--10-|--10--| --10---|--8---|---5--|-----|---3---|---4---|-----|--7--|--8--|--8---| Intro: Gmaj7 Fmaj7 ----------------------------------------------------------| --12----------------------------10------------------------| --11----------------------------9-------------------------| --12----12-/-14---12---9-/-10---10------------------------| --10----x----x----x----x---x----8-------------------------| --10----10-/-12---10---7-/-8----8-------0-h-3-------------| [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/e/elton-john/345152.html ] Am7 D7 Hey kids, shake it loose together G The spotlight's hitting something that's been G#aug known to change the weather Am7 D7 Em7 We'll kill the fatted calf tonight so stick around Am7 Bm7 C You're gonna hear electric music solid walls of sound Gmaj7 Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet Am7 C Ooh but they're so spaced out, B B B B B Bennie and the Jets Gmaj7 Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful Am7 Oh Bennie she's really keen C D7 She's got electric boots a mohair suit Em7 You know I read it in a magazine C C7 Oh Oh B B B Bennie and the Jets Intro: Am7 D7 Hey kids, plug into the faithless G G#aug Maybe they're blinded but Bennie makes them ageless Am7 D7 Em7 We shall survive, let us take ourselves along Am7 Bm7 Where we fight our parents out in the streets C To find who's right and who's wrong Gmaj7 Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet Am7 C Ooh but they're so spaced out, B B B B B Bennie and the Jets Gmaj7 Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful Am7 Oh Bennie she's really keen C D7 She's got electric boots a mohair suit Em7 You know I read it in a magazine C C7 Oh Oh B B B Bennie and the Jets |
