Elton John - Between Seventeen And Twenty: chords

   A             A7               D
I wonder who's sleeping in your sheets tonight
       A           A7      D
Whose head rests upon the bed
A              A7              D
Could it be a close friend I knew so well
G
Who seems to be so close to you instead,
                 D   G D
close to you instead

I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad
I guess I cannot have everything
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty and you were seventeen

Chorus:
F                         A#
 So out of choice I chose rock and roll
        F                           A#
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
           G                         C
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home
G#dim                 Cm                G#
From there on, there seemed no use for you,
             G
for you to stay

And if I shower around 3 a.m
It's just to wash away
The trace of a love unwanted
Oh in the times I went astray
The times I went astray

Chorus

I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad
I guess I cannot have everything
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty and you were seventeen

    A A7    D       A A7    D       A A7    D
Wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh
G
So much has flown between the years When
                                    D G D
I was twenty, oh and you were seventeen

    A A7    D       A A7    D       A A7    D
Wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh
G
So much has flown between the years When
                                    D G D
I was twenty, oh and you were seventeen

    A A7    D       A A7    D       A A7    D
Wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh, wha-oh
G
So much has flown between the years When
                                    D
I was twenty, oh and you were seventeen
