Elton John - Gulliver

Gm

Gm D/F# D#
gulliver’s gone to the final command of his master
F A# G#maj7
his watery eyes had washed all the hills with his laughter
A# G#
and the seasons can change all the light from the grey to the dim
Gm F
but the light in his eyes will see no more bright
D# D
as the sheep that he locked in the pen

G F/G
there’s four feet of ground in front of the barn
C/G G C/G
that’s sun baked and rain soaked and part of the farm
G F/G
but now it lies empty so cold and so bare
C/G G Gm
gulliver’s gone but his memory lies there

by passing the doors of his life was a stage i remember
and in later years he would cease to bare teeth to a stranger
for sentiment touched him as cyclamen holds him
and later men came from the town
who said clear the child this won’t take a while
and gulliver’s gone with the dawn
