Rotten Peaches Chords
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Key: D major
[Verse 1] (first chord w/ slide)
A                                     Bm
  We've moved on six miles from where we were yesterday
    C#m7               D                    D/C#
And yesterday is but a long long ways away
Bm               C#m7         D              D6
   So we'll camp out tonight    beneath the bright starlight
    A                             G             D
And forget rotten peaches and the places we've stayed
[Verse 2]
A                              Bm
I left from the dockland 'bout two years ago now
Bm/C    C#m7                    D                    D/C#
Made my way over on the S.S. Marie
          Bm        C#m7         D         D6
And I've always had trouble wherever I've settled
A                   G         D
Rotten peaches are all that I see
[Chorus]
G                 A              D      Dsus4  D
  Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
G                           A                       D     Dsus4  D
Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun
A             E/G#    Dm             Bm
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the one
         A     G               D
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
G                 A              D      Dsus4  D
  Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
G                           A                       D     Dsus4  D
Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun
A             E/G#    Dm             Bm
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the one
         A     G               D
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
[Verse 3]
A                              Bm
There ain't no green grass in a U.S. state prison
Bm/C    C#m7                        D                    D/C#
There is no one to hold when you're sick for your wife
  Bm             C#m7         D                    D6
And each day out you'll pick, you'll pick rotten peaches
            A                      G             D
You'll pick rotten peaches for the rest of your life
[Verse 4]
         A                  Bm                   Bm/C
Oh, I've had me my fill of cocaine and pills
      C#m7                    D                    D/C#
For I lie in the light of the Lord
       Bm          C#m7          D                D6
And my home is ten thousand, ten thousand miles away
      A              G        D
And I guess I won't see it no more
[Chorus]
G                 A              D      Dsus4  D
  Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
G                           A                       D     Dsus4  D
Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun
A             E/G#    Dm             Bm
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the one
         A     G               D
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
G                 A              D      Dsus4  D
  Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
G                           A                       D     Dsus4  D
Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun
A             E/G#    Dm             Dm             Bm
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the, Jesus I'm the one
         A     G               D
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
         A     G               D
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
         A     G               D
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
[Outro]
         A                  G                  D
La la la la la la, La la la la la la, La la la la la la
