Verse 1:
G C G
When I think of those East End lights
C
Muggy nights
G F C
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
F G
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there
F G C
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
Cm
And it's one more beer
A7
And I don't hear you anymore
C
We've all gone crazy lately
C#dim [x45650] G
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor
D
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Chorus:
C G Am G
And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
C G Am
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
G C Bm7
You nearly had me roped and tied
C C#dim
Altar-bound, hypnotized
G
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
C#dim
You're a butterfly
C
And butterflies are free to fly
C#dim G Bm7 C
Fly away, high away bye bye
C Bm7 Am G F
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Intro: (do twice)
Verse 2:
G C G
I never realized the passing hours
C
Of evening showers
G F C
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
F G
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
F G C
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
Cm
It's four o'clock in the morning
A7
*** it listen to me good
C
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
C#dim [x45650] G
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive

Ah ah ah ah ah ah

Bridge:
Am G
And I would have walked head on into the deep end the river

Clinging to your stocks and bonds
C
Paying your H.P. demands forever
Am G
They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Em7 C
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Em7 C
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Em7
Someone saved my life tonight
C C#dim Bm7 C
So save your strength and run the field you play alone
Back To Chorus Again.................

Do Intro throughout this part G & C-------6 times and fade
G C
Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight.....
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ELTON JOHN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
