Curtains

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the Album Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy

  Bb                               Bb7
I used to know this old scarecrow
                 Eb                       Bb        F7sus
he was my song, my joy and sorrow
Bb                                   Bb7 
cast a lone between the furrows
       Eb                                 Bb
of a field no longer sown by anyone
                       Bb7                                  Eb
I held a dandelion that said the time has come
                            F                Bb
to leave upon the wind not to return
                                   Eb
Till summer burns the earth again

Eb     Bb7     Bb7sus Bb                                 Eb
oh oh oh oh oh oh  oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Bb                              Bb7     Eb
Cultivate the freshest flower
                    Bb
this garden ever grew
                        Bb7                   Eb
beneath these branches I once wrote
Bb                     Bb7
such childish words for you
                                                                                    Eb
but that's ok there's treasure children always seek to find
                    F                         Bb7
and just like us you must have had
                         Eb
a once upon a time


          Bb7    Bb7    F
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
                            Eb
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
