Elton John - Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters: chords

C
And now I know
E7      Am     C        F           C          Dm
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
C
I thought I knew
E7         Am        C          F        C             Dm
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City

F             C         Dm                    C
Until you've seen this trash can dream come true
F                C           G                C
You stand at the edge while people run you through
F                C            G                     C
And I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
F                         C                     Dm       G
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you

Chorus:
            C             A#
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
         F                  C
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
       C                                 F
Turn around and say good morning to the night
      E7                 Am G
For unless they see the sky
           F        C        D
But they can't and that is why
       F               G               F   C
They know not if it's dark outside or light

This Broadway's got
It's got a lot of songs to sing
If I knew the tunes, I might join in
I'd go my way alone
I'd grow my own, my own seeds shall be sown in New York City

Subway's no way for a good man to go down
Rich man can ride, and the hobo, he can drown
And I thank the Lord for the people I have found
I thank the Lord for the people I have found

Chorus

And now I know
"Spanish Harlem" are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow
In New York City

Subway's no way for a good man to go down
Rich man can ride, and the hobo, he can drown
And I thank the Lord for the people I have found
I thank the Lord for the people I have found

Chorus

They know not if it's dark outside or light
