THE TARTAN COLOURED LADY Year: 1967 Album: None Writers: Elton John\ Bernie Taupin Em Cmaj7/E The grass in Ashfield Park is dying B B7 Em G/D Where everybody dreams of deeds of crime... A And the Tartan Coloured Lady walks F#7 Bm Am G Behind the water colours of my mind...... D A G Em B7 And the Tartan Coloured Lady she is mine......... Em Cmaj7/E People speak of willow trees in autumn B B7 Em G/D And my cloak doesn't fit her anymore... A And the Tartan Coloured Lady that I wanted F#7 Bm Am G Walked out this place, an hour or so before...... D A And the Tartan Coloured Lady locks her door D E So if your crystal window is unbroken G D And they've taken all the dust bins from your door C D Take yourself the Tartan Coloured Lady G D And smell the grass in Ashfield Park once more F#7 Bm Am G Em B7 See the trees in Ashfield Park once more.............. Em Cmaj7/E So I guess I'll read the comic books you've left me B B7 Em G/D And play marbles on the floor... A And if the Tartan Coloured Lady calls me F#7 Bm Am G Just tell her I won't be home till four...... D A Or just tell her I won't be home no more D E So if your crystal window is unbroken G D And they've taken all the dust bins from your door C D Take yourself the Tartan Coloured Lady G D And smell the grass in Ashfield Park once more F#7 Bm Am G See the trees in Ashfield Park once more...... D A G Em B7 Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Oooooooooooooh Chorded by Dan H.
