Lyrics: Bernie Taupin
This is a fairly easy version of how I play it - only 1 barre chord and a nice beginner riff to learn.
I've added a couple of add-ons at the very end which can be heard on the record aren't essential.
This is tabbed to the record but its my first tab so I welcome any improvements/highlighting of errors.
For the verses - for each D to G, you can include a quick strum of C or Cadd9 before G.
This Cadd9 / C mirrors the gorgeous piano step down you can hear on the record. Its optional though.

Play outro through fully once, repeat outro which fades to finish.

++ ADD-ONS ++
+++++++++++++++++
Some nice add-ons here 1 and 2 are fairly easy unless a beginner.
These sound great and the first 2 should be in the tab above really.
For each of these please give the record a listen while you follow and it will all make sense.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. At the end of each verse you can do the following:
Em A Asus4 A
Stepping into Christmas with me
2. Similarly for each A to Am transition in the verses you can play A to Asus4 quickly to Am.
3. I never play this but you can try it if you're fast enough or get a second guitar to play
this with you - basically during the verses, the D chord at the end of the 2nd and 4th lines you can
play this riff TWICE right after a down strum of the said D chord. In fact you can hear a second guitar
throughout but see what you think.
