Rocketman

Album: Tabbed by: Matt Outerson ([email protected]) This is a great song. Elton John's bassist is quite amazing... not just on this song...but on all of his songs!! Standard Tuning E, A, D, G for you beginners...;) I like to play this with my fingers...but, with a pick or however will be up to you, of course. Intro : Piano and singing for about 8 bars. Come in when EJ sings "I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife..." Then... /3\ /3\ G|12-----12--|--------|12---12--|-----------|--------|--------| D|--------12-|10------|------12-|10-----1012|13--12--|10------| A|---------10|--------|-------10|-----------|--------|----13--| E|-----------|--------|---------|-----------|--------|--------| h ss h ss G|----------------|10----------|-------|----------|-------|--------| D|--------10--1213|----10------|-------|---5----8-|-------|--------| A|12--1213--------|------8-----|---5-8-|6--------8|---5-8-|6--65--5| E|----------------|--------1///|6------|----------|6------|--------| G|---------|-----8--|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------| D|---------|---68--8|--------|---5--8-|--------|---5--8-|--------| A|3---33-5-|6-------|-------8|6------8|---5-8--|6------8|---5-8--| E|---3-----|--------|6--66---|--------|6-------|--------|6-------| G|--------|---------|-----8--|---------|----------|--------| D|--------|---------|---68--8|--888-888|---888-888|--------| A|6--65--5|3---33-5-|6-------|---------|/6--------|--------| E|--------|---3-----|--------|6--------|----------|3-3-----| G|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|----------| D|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|----------| A|3-3-----|--------|3-3---35|6---5---|3-------|-----3--56| E|--------|3-------|--------|--------|----6---|5--56-----| s ^3^ | ^3^ (good luck!)
