Elton John - Legal Boys: chords

       Gm        D#         F
Your accountant called this morning
 Cm         Gm       G#      Gm
There was springtime in his heart
 D7    Gm        D#  F
He couldn't wait to tell me
 Cm      Gm         D#  G#/D# C Fm
How he'd pulled our lives apart
                          A#6
And the letter from your lawyer
                      Cm
Lies unopened on the tray
      G#6            A#6               D#
I may get around to reading it later today

Walking round the lonely rooms
I see everything the same
But suddenly it matters
What was purchased in my name
Whether this or that was paid for
Belongs to me or you
Can the seven years together be divided by two

Chorus:
                           G#maj7
It says something for the legal boys
                     G#6
But nothing much for us
                  Cm/G
That all we had together
                     G7
Is so quickly ended thus
                    G#maj7
The legal boys have won again
                    G#6
And you and I have lost
                           Cm/G
They can't tell us how it happened
                             G#
But they'll let us know the cost
                            A#6      D#
Oh they'll let us know the cost, oh yeah

There's a lot I'd like to tell you
But I can't get past your guards
I do not speak their language
And they hold all the cards
I would rather call you darling
Than defendant in the case
But lovers left here long ago
And clients took their place

Chorus
