SONG: Gulliver - Elton John/Bernie Taupin
Gm D Eb
Gulliver's gone to the final command of his master
F Bb Ab
His watery eyes had washed all the hills with his laughter
Bb Ab
And the seasons can change all the light from the grey to the dim
Gm Dm
But the light in his eyes will see no more bright
Cm D
As the sheep that he locked in the pen
G F
There's four feet of ground in front of the barn
C G
That's sun baked and rain soaked and part of the farm
G F
But now it lies empty so cold and so bare
C G Gm
Gulliver's gone but his memory lies there
By passing the doors of his life was a stage I remember
And in later years he would cease to bare teeth to a stranger
For sentiment touched him as cyclamen holds him
And later men came from the town
Who said clear the child this won't take a while
And Gulliver's gone with the dawn
