Daniel Chords by Elton John

_ _ _ _ _ Palace Coliseum, home of Celine Dion.
_ _ _ [C] I've [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ been writing with Danny Tormin for 38 years.
_ _ The way we actually write songs together hasn't changed at all.
He writes the lyrics, _ and we're never in the same room at the same time.
And in the early days, there were a lot of,
what does this song mean, what does that song mean?
And in the case of Take Me to the Pilot,
Lead Me Through the Chamber,
Take Me to the Pilot, I'm But a Stranger,
I Have No Idea.
_ You're on your own, everyone.
I'll tell you.
This next song, though, had more inquiries than any other song that we ever wrote.
And it's because when Bernie wrote the song,
and I looked at [Ab] the paper and I thought,
this is too long.
And I hadn't even read the lyric, but I just crossed the last verse out.
[A] And the last [N] verse explained the whole song.
So it's no wonder that people didn't know what it was about.
But in that way, you kind of create an enigma.
So, for those of you who still don't know what the song is about,
there is a beautiful film here by David [Bb] LaChapelle.
And [N] the song is from an album called Don't Shoot Me,
I'm Only the Piano Player.
And it's called Daniel.

[Dm] _ [Am] _ [Dm] [C] He's [G] _ [C] _ [G] _
_ [E] barely [Am] at home.
[G] _ [F] I can [G] see that you're waiting [Am] to buy.
I'm _ [F] gonna look for love.
[C] _ [G] Sweet [C] cloud. _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ [C] You're simply afraid.
So [Dm] let me.
_ _ [G] _ Say it.
[E] She said, [Am] have a seat.
[G] _ [F] She said [G] no.
[Am] Oh, no.
_ _ [F] Oh, I won't say. _
