Elton John/Bernie Taupin
1969 demo
recorded by Guy Darrell in 1969

Eb - F - Gm

I know yoU
                    F
You're trying to do all you can for me
Eb
I appreciate your help
          D                    D7
But it's best just to leave me be

         Gm
There's many things that I have done
         F
And I'm sorry for them now
    Eb
So darling please don't you comfort me
      D              D7
I'll sort it out somehow

F   Gm                   Bb
So sing me no sad songs, tell me no lies
 Eb                       Gm
Please don't you make me blue
                      Bb
Sing me no sad songs, tell me no lies
Eb                     F
Girl I can do without you
           Bb
Don't go breaking my heart
          Bb7
It would tear me apart
        Gm                       Eb
'Cause then I'd be finished for good
F   Gm                   Bb
So sing me no sad songs, tell me no lies
 Eb                       Gm
Please don't you make me blue

Gm - F - Eb - D (x2)

Gm
I don't want you to think I'm mean
   F
Refusing all your help
     Eb
The time has come, but my need is none
      D                       D7
And I want to be alone with myself

There's many things that I have done
And I'm sorry for them now
So darling please don't you comfort me
I'll sort it out somehow

repeat chorus

   Abm                    B
So sing me no sad songs, tell me no lies
 E                       Abm
Please don't you make me blue     (ad lib)
