"Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" Bitter Fingers ! (Music by Elton John; Lyrics by Bernie Taupin) > A > A E F#m F#m/G# A D/B I'm going on the circuit, I'm doing all the clubs > Bm A/C# D Esus4 A/G D/F# E And I really need a song boys to stir those workers up > A E F#m F#m/G# A D/B And get their wives to sing it with me just like in the pubs > Bm A/C# D D/B Esus4 D/E When I worked the good old pubs in Stepney Oh could you knock a line or two together for a friend Sentimental tear inducing with a happy end And we need a tune to open our season at Southend > Esus4 G C/E Cm/Eb C/E Can you help us > F C/G G It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers > C Am Amb5 Am F So much to prove, so few to tell you why > C/G G Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing > C Am Amb5 Am Dm At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes > C/E It seems to me a change is really needed > F C/G Cm/F# C/G F I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das > C/G G No more long days hacking hunks of garbage > C E E7 Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars > A E F#m F#m/G# A D/B I like the warm blue flame, the hazy heat it brings > Bm A/C# D Esus4 A/G D/F# E It loosens up the muscles and forces you to sing > Bm A/C# D Esus4 A/G D/F# E You know it's just another hit and run from the tin pan alley twins > A E F#m F#m/G# A D/B And there's a chance that one day you might write a standard lads > Bm A/C# D Esus4 A/G D/F# E So churn them out quick and fast and we'll still pat your backs > A E F#m F#m/G# A D/B `Cause we need what we can get to launch another dozen acts > Bm A/C# D D/B Esus4 G C/E Cm/Eb C/E Are you wor |
