Elton John - The Wasteland
The Wasteland
Gm C Bb Gm
Gm C Bb Gm
Eb7
Some days I think it's all a dream
C F D/F# D7/F#
The things I've done, the places that I've been
Gm Eb7
This life of mine seemed surreal at times
C Dsus4 D Gm
Wasted days and nights in someone else's mind
C Bb Gm
Gm C Bb Gm
Could it be I'm not for real?
I've slapped my face to check out how I feel
There's hostages to prove it's true
Who lives behind the mask was never proved
F Bb
Come on Robert Johnson
F Bb
Though we're worlds apart
Eb Eb/D
You and I know what it's like
C#mb5 D
With the devil in our heart
Cm Gm
You sold your soul at the crossroads
Fm6/G# G7
Kept a little of mine on hand
Eb C/E F D/F#
I'm wading out this muddy water
Gm F Eb D Gm
Been stranded in the Wasteland
Rattling chains all around my bed
Ghosts can laugh but they're already dead
I'm not dying and I'm far from gone
The blues man spent his candle but his pain lives on
Gm C Bb Gm
