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

A D/A

It's a case I guess of paradise lost

G Bm/F#

Ten years back on the hands of the clock

C G

In that little house on Mansfield

D

On your old block

F#m G D

Sometimes the magic of the past is all we've got

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

G/B C

And it's the contact of the eye that meets across a crowded room

G D

And how I kind of wound up the lyrics to your tune

G/B C D

You said, 'Funny but it feels like I've known you all my life

F/A Bb F C/G C D

And how it might feel to kiss you on the mouth tonight'

Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb

In between the Star of David and the California moon

Eb Bb/D F

The Santa Ana winds blew warm into your room

Eb Bb/D

We were crazy, wild and running

Cm7 Bb

Blind to the change to come

Cm D

In that little house on Mansfield

Gm Eb Bb F

We'd wake at the break of dawn

Gm Eb F G

In an Indian summer gone

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

Gm Eb Bb F

We'd wake at the break of dawn

Gm Eb F G

In an Indian summer gone

Gm Eb Bb F

We'd wake at the break of dawn

Gm Eb F G

In an Indian summer gone
