Slow Fade to Blue
Elton John/Bernie Taupin
1969

F                Eb
 She stands in shadows
Bb                     F
  Shadows I've walked into
                     Eb
Your skin's like the velvet
Bb                      F
  Simple reflection of you
                   Cm     D7
And you know it's true

 G                    Am
Baby you know that I love you too much
         C              D            G
You destroyed all the dreams that I wanted to touch
                       Am
Severed my life like a cut from a knife
   C         D          G
I wanted to hold on to you
       A              Gm
But I guess I'm just turning
F                C/E           G
  A slow fade to blue without you

A - Gm - F - C/E - G

F                    Eb
 What's the good in trying
Bb             F
  To make her see
                              Eb
When the only thing I get is hurt
        Bb                   F
With a broken heart and misery
Dm                                D
  Hair as black as ravens in the nighttime
G                         Gm
  Twisted by the singing wind
Eb                        C
  Eyes that only melt my heart
 F                   A                 D7
Tantalize my tears, rip my soul apart

repeat chorus

A - Gm - F - C/E - G

Bm            C                    G
  I need you baby, I want you too much
Bm                C                    G    D/F#
  Burned by the flames you created in love
Em            Bm                  C
  Savior, a satan's got a hold on me
Bm             C                         G
  Torments my life and just won't let me be

F            Eb     Bb                     F
  I see the visions   that come from your lies
        Eb         Bb                 F
Reincarnated by the   heat from your eyes
                Eb
Oh, you got to stand before me
Bb               F
  Like it's for real
                Eb                 Bb
I just want to touch you and your love again
F                    Cm
 Your love again to feel

A - Gm - F - C/E - G

   A              Gm
I guess I'm just turning
F               C/E           G
 A slow fade to blue without you
