Rocket Man

Post by Dancing Ants »

I found a tab for Rocket Man by Elton John, but it doesn't sound right...it's Em7, A9 for the verse, I think...does anyone have an alternate tab?

Verse goes Em, Am, Em, Am, C, G, Am, G, D,

Chorus goes G, C, G, C, over and over

That's the angie aparo version, he capos at 2 i think but you'll have to capo it to whatever key elton plays it on.
