Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters

Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

Available on the album Honky Chateau

C

         F/C  C

And now I know

E7              Am     C/G  F                        C/E        Dm  C

Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say

    F/C        C          Csus4 C

I thought I knew

E7                   Am          C/G      F            C/E               Dm7  C/E

But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City

F                     C/E        Dm7                          C

Until you've seen this trash can dream come true

F                         C/E               G                       C

You stand at the edge      while people run you through

F                          C/E          F/G                                    C

And I thank the Lord there's people out there like you

F                                    C/E                         Dm     G

I thank the Lord there's people out there like you

                    C                  Bb

While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters

              F/A                   C/G

Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers

       C                                                            F

Turn around and say good morning to the night

         E7                           Am  C/G

For unless they see the sky

               F          C/G        D

But they can't and that is why

         F                              G                F

They know not if it's dark outside or light

This Broadway's got

It's got a lot of songs to sing

If I knew the tunes I might join in

I'll go my way alone

Grow my own, my own seeds shall be sown in New York City

Subway's no way for a good man to go down

Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown

And I thank the Lord for the people I have found

I thank the Lord for the people I have found
