One of my favourite EJ songs and well worth a go at.

Yes! I agee with you about singing it. Very hard to phrase and pitch correctly with the melody.

I'll be trying it out at home but not sure about me trying a live version at the local open mic quite yet though.

All the best,

It, btw, really seems to work well in the neck position of about any guitar I have. Especially the LP. Adds a bit of muddy tone to it which I think helps out in this single guitar arrangement.

Only barre chords are a Cm twice and a B twice. Not even sure I like the B. I may change it later.
Someone Saved My Life Tonight - Elton John When I think of those East End lights Muggy nights The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs Prima Donna lord you really should have been there Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair And it's one more beer And I don't hear you anymore We've all gone crazy lately My friends out there rolling round the basement floor Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear You nearly had me roped and tied Altar-bound, hypnotized Sweet freedom whispered in my ear You're a butterfly And butterflies are free to fly Fly away, high away bye bye Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh I never realized the passing hours Of evening showers A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams I'm strangled by your haunted social scene Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen It's four o'clock in the morning Damn it listen to me good I'm sleeping with myself tonight Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive Ah ah ah ah ah ah And I would have walked head on into the deep end the river Clinging to your stocks and bonds Paying your H. P. demands forever They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight Someone saved my life tonight So save your strength and run the field you play alone Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight alternate intro found online. Intro: G-C-G-C E B G D A E And no, I can't sing to this. It'll never get performed unless someone else is on vocals. Well, I think not anyhow. Have not really tried to yet at full volume.]]> Easy Songs rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/someone-saved-my-life-tonight-elton-john/#post-36658
