BLUES NEVER FADE AWAY -- ELTON JOHN, "The Captain and the Kid"(2006)
Exact chords tabbed by ClassicalfreaK, 2015
====================================================================
INTRO
Cm
VERSE
   Bb/D   Eb                     Bb
He wasn't famous but I sure did love him
             Ab                  Eb
I've got his picture in a little frame
            Eb              Bb              Ab         Eb
He lost his life to a big disease before it even had a name
             Fm                  Bb
But there is so many more and I've lost count
    Gm7                    Cm
The hows and whys aren't important now
         F/A                  Bb
All that matters is they came around
                      Eb
And brightened up our lives
VERSE
        Eb                  Bb
She was twenty one with her life ahead
          Ab               Eb
You don't need to know her name
                 Eb                     Bb         Ab          Eb
She breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcade
      Fm7                          Bb
But fate's right hand isn't always just
       Gm7                     Cm
Puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust
        F/A                           Bb
She was just a little girl ain't that enough
                    Eb
To rage against the day
CHORUS
    Ab                Eb
And how did we get so lucky?
Bb                   Cm
Targets on the rifle range
Ab                     Eb
Who makes the call and who gets to choose?
Bb                    Cm
Who gets to win and who gets to lose?
            Ab                  Eb
It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues
    G7/B              Cm
And blues never fade away
Cm/Bb       Ab                  Eb
Hey hey the colors run when the rain falls
    G7/B              Cm
But blues never fade away
VERSE
   Bb/D     Eb                     Bb
He shone so bright with a lust for life
         Ab               Eb
Like the Sun King that he was
             Eb            Bb             Ab           Eb
His passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth
        Fm7                 Bb
And for reasons I never understood
          Gm7                      Cm
About the choices made between the bad and good
              F/A
I've tried to figure out but
    Bb              Eb
The pain never goes away
CHORUS
    Ab                Eb
And how did we get so lucky?
Bb                   Cm
Targets on the rifle range
Ab                     Eb
Who makes the call and who gets to choose?
Bb                    Cm
Who gets to win and who gets to lose?
            Ab                  Eb
It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues
    G7/B              Cm
And blues never fade away
Cm/Bb       Ab                  Eb
Hey hey the colors run when the rain falls
    G7/B              Cm
But blues never fade away
BRIDGE
            G7/D               Cm/Eb
And there's marble markers and little white crosses
 G7/F            Cm/G
Along the beaten path
           Ab               Eb/Bb
And I've spread their ashes on the wind
      Bb                 Cm
And I miss John Lennon's laugh
CHORUS
    Ab                Eb
And how did we get so lucky?
Bb                   Cm
Targets on the rifle range
Ab                     Eb
Who makes the call and who gets to choose?
Bb                    Cm
Who gets to win and who gets to lose?
            Ab                  Eb
It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues
    G7/B              Cm
And blues never fade away
Cm/Bb       Ab                  Eb
Hey hey the colors run when the rain falls
    G7/B              Cm
But blues never fade away
