Don't let the sun go down on me (midi)    (sample)

 

    C-Bb-F-C-F-Dm   G                   F-G                           F   C

1.                                  I can't light        no more of your    darkness,

G-F                        G-F                                               G     - F-G

      all my pictures        seem to fade to black and white.

FG                             F-G                                  F C

      I'm growing tired,       and time stands still before me,

G-F                   G-F                                   G      -F-G

      frozen here          on the ladder of my life.

 

   F-G                             F-G                            F     C

2.        It's much too late        to save myself from falling,

G-F                           G-F                                            G    -F-G

       I took a chance          and changed your way of life.

F-G                           F-G                                  F     C

       But you misread       my meaning when I met you,

G-F                           G-F                     C                    G

       closed the door        and left me blinded by the light.

 

C                                   Bb

    Don't let the sun go down on me,

Am                                                          D7

    although I search myself, it's always someone else I see.

C                                                     F  - G                    C    C7

    I'd just allow a fragment of your life       to wander free, oh -

            F                                        Dm   C        F     G   C

    but losing everything is like the sun going down on me.

 

     -Bb-F-C-F-Dm  G                   F-G                           F              - C

3.                               I can't find,        oh, the right romantic line,

G-F                            G-F                                G    - F-G

      but see me once         and see the way I feel.

F-G                            F-G                                            F                    - C

      Don't discard me,        just because you think I mean you harm.

G-F                                                           C                       G

      But these cuts I have, oh they need love to help me heal, oh!

                     C-Bb-F ~ G#-Bb                         -Bb-F-G#-Bb-C

+ REFRAIN                                 + REFRAIN
