Thank you, that was a song called Tiny Dancer, which is all about Bernie Taupin's wife.
Bernie Taupin being the man who writes the lyrics behind the songs, you see.
[A] The next song, by [Em] my cue sheet, says, [Bm] it's Rotten Features.
[A] We moved on six [Em] miles [Bm] from where we were yesterday
[A] And yesterday is gone [Dm] a long, long ways away
[F] [C#] [C] [Bm] So we'll camp [A] out tonight [D] beneath the [B] bright starlight
[A] And forget Rotten Features [G] and the places we [D] stayed
I [A]
left from the dark land [Bm] two years ago now
Be [A] my way over on the S.S. [Dm] Marie
[F#m] And [Bm] I'll go where else, help [A] trouble [D]
wherever I [B] settle
[A] Cause Rotten Features [G] are all that I [D] see
Rotten
[G] Features, [A] Father, now, [D]
Son
[G] Since I seen that devil, [A] through to the world, my [D]
God
I'm [G] [F#m]
[E] a criminal, [Dm]
Jesus, I'm [B] the one
Rotten [A] Features, [G]

Mercy, [G] [A]

Rotten [A]
Features, [G] rotten in the [D] sun
There
[A] ain't no green grass [Bm] in the U.S. state prison
There [A] is no one to hold when you're [Dm] sick for your wife
[Bm] Each day I'll be [A] your pig, [D] your pig, Rotten [B] Features
Your [A] pig, Rotten Features, [G] for the rest of your [D] [G] [D] life
[E]
Oh, [A] I'll have me my fill [Bm] of cocaine and pills
[A] Oh, I'll lie in the light [Dm] of the Lord
[Bm] My home is ten [A] thousand, ten [D] thousand miles [B] away
And [A] I guess I will [G] see it no [D] more
[G] Rotten Features, [A] rotten in the [D] sun
[G] Since I seen that devil, [A] through to the world, my [D] God
[G]
[A] Mercy, I'm a [E] criminal,
[Dm] Jesus, I'm the [B] one
Rotten [A] Features,
