Elton John Chords

Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters

C    F/C  C
And now I know
E7        Am   C/G     F            C/E      Dm  C
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
  F/C       C    Csus4 C
I thought I knew
E7         Am       C/G        F            C/E         Dm7  C/E
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City

F            C/E       Dm7                  C
Until you've seen this trash can dream come true
F                  C/E        G              C
You stand at the edge  while people run you through
F              C/E           G/F                   C
And I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
F                        C/E                   Dm     G
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you

            C            Bb
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
        F/A              C/G
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
     C                                   F
Turn around and say good morning to the night
      E7                  Am  C/G
For unless they see the sky
         F         C/G      D
But they can't and that is why
      F                 G              F
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'll go my way alone
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
