Elton John
Intro: Dm Bb/D C/D - C#dim/D Dm
Dm Bb/D C/D C#dim/D Dm Dm Bb/D C/D C#dim/D Dm
The fuse is set and checked once more. Then left beside a back street door.
Bb /Bb-/F-/Bb-/Bb /F C/Bb /Bb-/F-/Bb-/Bb /F F/A /A-/F-/A-/A /F
And in the cold grey light -
Eb/Bb Bb F/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb F/Bb Bb F/Bb Bb C/Bb F/A
Some - one sees a sha - dow run through the night, and out of sight
Dm Bb/D C/D C#dim/D Dm Dm Bb/D C/D C#dim/D Dm
They hide inside a smoke filled room, to hear at last the blast of doom.
Bb /Bb-/F-/Bb-/Bb /F C/Bb /Bb-/F-/Bb-/Bb /F F/A /A-/F-/A-/A /F
And so the deed is done -
Eb/Bb Bb F/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb F/Bb Bb F/Bb Bb C/Bb F/A A7
They lis - ten to the fi - nal count-down be - gun, three, two, one.
Gm7 Bb/C C F Cm6/Eb Dsus
Madness, it's a kind of mad - ness that turns good men bad.
D Gm7 Bb/C C Dm Bbmaj7 A
And we're helpless caught up in the mad - ness of a world gone mad.
Dm Bb/D C/D C#dim/D Dm Dm Bb/D C/D C#dim/D Dm
The roar of fire rings out on high & flames light up the black night sky
Bb /Bb-/F-/Bb-/Bb /F C/Bb /Bb-/F-/Bb-/Bb /F F/A /A-/F-/A-/A /F
A child screams out in fear -
Eb/Bb Bb F/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb F/Bb Bb F/Bb Bb C/Bb F/A
A hope-less cry for help but no one is near enough to hear
Instr: A Dm/A B7/A Em/G B7/F# Em B7 C F/A B7
Em C/E D/E D#dim/E Em Em C/E D/E D#dim/E Em
As walls collapse & tim-bers flare - the smell of death hangs in the air
C /C-/G-/C-/C /G D/C /C-/G-/C-/C /G G/B /B-/G-/B-/B /G
When help at last ar-rives -
F/C C G/C C F/C C G/C C G/C C D/C G/B B7
They try to fight the flame but no - thing sur-vives of all those lives
Instr: Em C/E D/E - D#dim/E Em {repeated}
Em C/E D/E D#dim/E Em
And it's madness, every time a vic - tim dies.
Em C/E D/E D#dim/E Em D C D
There is madness, burning in a blind man's eyes.
And it's madness, hidden in the hate and pain.
There is madness, burning in a wild man's brain.
And it's madness, every time the bul - lets start.
There is madness, burning in a poor man's heart.
And it's madness, something that we can't con - troll.
There is madness, burning in a mad - man's soul. Madness.
Em C/E D/E D#dim/E Em D C D
Madness. Ma____________dness.
(Repeat, ad lib, fade),
