Heels of the Wind

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the Album The Fox

C F/C  (over and over again)

G/B

Am                                         G/B   C                         G/B
Just like a broken marriage, when two people just don't care

Am                                               G\B         C
Like when the cupboard is empty or there's no food in the Frigidaire

G
I'm a page from the end of the story

F
No closer to my hope and glory

Dm  Em F     C\G G                                C      (play intro)  
Just a   kick away  from the heels of the wind


Am                                      G\B           C                   G\B
How come it gets so disturbing, when two ships pass in the storm

Am                                            G\B                          C
Who knows how high the crow flies, who knows where this refugee was born

G
I'm a page from the end of the story

F
No closer to my hope and glory

Dm  Em  F     C\G  G                                C  (play intro)
Just a    kick away from the heels of the wind


        F               C\E       Dm        C
And just for the sake of all these reasons

F       C\E              Dm     C
Rains wash out the fires within

F            Em       E7\G#      Am
Fires that help to keep you moving

Dm  Em F     C\G G                                  C  (play intro) 
Just a   kick away from the heels of the wind


You don't deserve that treatment, I can't pretend I was that nice
I'm no E ticket ride to Disneyland, I'm no cushy first class flight
I'm a day behind your restless wings
You, you rather have the wealth of kings
Me, I'd rather be on the heels of the wind


C    F\C C    F\C  C C F\C  C  F\C
Just a   kick away,     yeah

Dm   Em F     C\G G                                 C    (play intro)
Just a    kick away from the heels of the wind.
