--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard (Capo I)
I play this on my acoustic. It's in G# transposed to G
here so capo on the first fret.
I play the intro strumming chords but if you want to
sound like the recording it's this:
Riff 1:
Very fast strumming----| x x x
e|--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8---9--9--9--x--||
B|--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9---9--9--9--x--||
G|--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--10-10-10--x--|| Play 4x
D|--------------------------------------||

E|--------------------------------------||
Elton's guitar player uses this pattern throughout the breaks between verses.
He mixes it up with different speeds and rhythms but that's the gist of it.
Don't copy him, play it your way! Here's the chords and changes:
Capo I
