Daniel

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the Album Don't Shoot Me (I'm only the Piano Player)

C                                      Dm
Daniel is trav'ling tonight on a plane
G                                   E7                    Am
I can see the red tail lights heading for spain

C    F                   G                    Am
oh, and I can see Daniel waving goodbye.
             F
God it looks like Daniel,
G                G7                 C     G
must be the clouds in my eyes.

They say Spain is pretty, though I've never been,
Well Daniel say it's the best place he's ever seen,
Oh and he should know he's been there enough,
Lord I miss Daniel,
oh I miss him so much.

     F
Oh, Daniel my brother
            C
you are older than me,
                  F
do you still feel the pain
          C
of the scars that won't heal?
                       Am
Your eyes have died
                                 F
but you see more than I,
Ab                    C
Daniel you're a star
A7                         Dm7  G7
in the face of the sky.

Daniel is trav'ling tonight on a plane,
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain,
oh, and I can see Daniel waving goodbye.
God it looks like Daniel,
must be the clouds in my eyes.
