Elton John - Love Lies Bleeding

this is a two part song really , but since i’m after the singing bit i’m
only going to do part two , love lies bleeding .

the fade out from funeral for a friend is just two chords repeated . . .

A / A#maj7 /

the introduction to love lies bleeding goes like this . . .

A // C // G // F / G /

the F and the second G only get half a bar each .

A
the roses in the window bo
x E
have tilted to one side
A
everything about this house
Bm
was born to grow and die
A Bm D
oh it doesn’t seem a year ago to this very day
A
you said i’m sorry honey
E
if i don’t change the pace
D E F#m
i can’t face another day

Bm E
and love lies bleeding in my hand
F#m Bm E
oh it kills me to think of you with another man
F#m Bm
i was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
C#m
but my guitar couldn’t hold you
D Dm
so i split the baaaa – A – ha – A – nd
F#m E A C G . . . ( introduction here )
love lies bleeding in my hands

A
i wonder if those changes
E
have left a scar on you
C#m D
like all the burning hoops of fire
Bm B7
that you and i passed through
A
you’re a bluebird on a telegraph line
Bm D
i hope you’re happy now
A E
well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
D E F#m
you’ll make it back somehow
