Bennie And The Jets by Elton John - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Elton John Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4
            Bennie and the Jets
Elton John
Start on E

The other tabs I have found are close but if you want the chords to sound 
exactly like the recording, this should get you there.This song isn't really 
difficult to play as long as you're comfortable with barre chords.  I wrote 
out the chord formations I use but if you know a better way, go ahead and 
use them.  I think the way i wrote out the chords make the transistions a 
little easier.  Anyway, enjoy!

[Verse]

Am7         D7
Hey kids, shake it loose together
     G             
The spotlight's hitting something that's been 
G#dim
known to change the weather
Am7                      D7                     Em7
   We'll kill the fatted calf tonight so stick around
       Am7                 Bm7                  C  
You're gonna hear electric music solid walls of sound


[Chorus]

     Gmaj7
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
 Am7                                     C
Ooh but they're so spaced out, B B B B B Bennie and the Jets
Gmaj7
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
   Am7
Oh Bennie she's really keen
          C                D7
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
            Em7                       
You know I read it in a magazine  
     C    C7
Oh  Oh      B B B Bennie and the Jets

[Verse]

Am7       D7
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
G                         G#dim
Maybe they're blinded but Bennie makes them ageless
Am7          D7                              Em7
   We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
          Am7                          Bm7
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
                              C
To find who's right and who's wrong


[Chorus]

     Gmaj7
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet

Oh Bennie she's really keen
          C                D7
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
            Em7                       
You know I read it in a magazine  
     C    C7
Oh  Oh      B B B Bennie and the Jets
