Mansfield
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Songs From The West Coast
[F/A] [Bb] [F] [C/G] [C] [D]
[F/A] [Bb] [F] [C/G] [C] [D]
It's a [A]case I guess of parad[D/A]ise lost
[G]Ten years back on the hands of [Bm/F#]the clock
In that li[C]ttle house on Mansfie[G]ld
On your old block[D]
[F#m]Sometimes the magic of the past is all[G] we've got[D]
Just you and me at a crossroads then
Ain't it funny how we were old friends
Accidentally thrown together
Did we intend
To be the romantic novel you never want to end
And it's the conta[G/B]ct of the eye that meets across a crowded[C] room
And ho[G]w I kind of wound up the lyrics to your[D] tune
You said, 'Funn[G/B]y but it feels like I've known you [C]all my life[D]
And ho[F/A]w it might feel[Bb] to kiss you[F] on the mo[C/G]uth tonight[C]'[D]
In betwe[Eb]en the Star of David and[Bb/D] the California moo[Cm7]n[Bb]
The San[Eb]ta Ana winds blew warm into y[Bb/D]our room[F]
We were crazy,[Eb] wild and running[Bb/D]
Blind to the chang[Cm7]e to come[Bb]
In that li[Cm]ttle house on Mansf[D]ield
We'd wak[Gm]e a[Eb]t the break of dawn[Bb] [F]
In an In[Gm]dian su[Eb]mmer gone[F] [G]
In the candlelight I can recall
Your naked shadow looking ten feet tall
Like a wild pony dancing
Along the wall
Off balance I found love the only place to fall
We'[Gm]d w[Eb]ake at the break of dawn[Bb] [F]
In an In[Gm]dian su[Eb]mmer gone[F] [G]
We'[Gm]d w[Eb]ake at the break of dawn[Bb] [F]
In an In[Gm]dian su[Eb]mmer gone[F] [G]
