Pinky

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Caribou

A    E/A    D/A    A
A    E/A    D/A    A

A             Bm/A
I don't want to wake you
Bm     E          D   A
But I'd like to tell you that I love you
 C#m            F#m       
That the candlelight fell like a crescent
D               A/C#       Bm  E
Upon your feather pillow

For there's more ways than one
And the ways of the world are a blessing
For when Pinky's dreaming
She owes the world nothing
And her silence keeps us guessing

Bm                         E
Pinky's as perfect as the Fourth of July
Bm                                    E
Quilted and timeless, seldom denied
D      A/C#     B
The trial and the error of my master plan
               E          D  A      A/C#  D/B
Now she rolls like the dice in a poor gambler's hands

A    E/A    D/A    A
A    E/A    D/A    A

You don't want to tell me
But somehow you've guessed that I know
Oh when dawn came this morning
You discovered a feeling that burned like a flame in your soul

For there's toast and honey
And there's breakfast in bed on a tray
Oh it's ten below zero
And we're about to abandon our plans for the day
