When I think of those (C)east end (G)lights,
mug gy nights, the (G)cur tains drawn in the (F)lit tle room down (C)stairs,
(F)pri ma don na, Lord, you real ly (G)should have been there,
(F)sit ting like a prin cess (G)perched in her e (C)lec tric chair.
And it’s (Cm)one more beer, and I don’t hear you (A)an y more.
We’ve (C)all gone cra zy late ly, my (A)friends out there roll in’ ’round
the (G)base ment floor.
And some one saved my (G)life to night,
(Am)sug ar bear.
You al most had your (G)hooks in me,
(Am)did n’t you dear?
You near ly (C)had me roped and (G)tied,
(C)al tar bound,
(A7)hyp no tized,
sweet (G)free dom whis pered in my ear.
You’re a (A)but ter fly,
and (C)but ter flies
are free to fly.
(A7)Fly a way,
(G)high a way,
(B)bye,
(C)bye.

Some one saved my life to night,

So (C)save your strength and run the field you (A7)play a lone.
Some one saved, some one (G)saved, some one saved my (C)life to night.
Some one saved, some one (G)saved, some one saved my (C)life to night.
This page shows “Someone Saved My Life Tonight” by Elton John in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of G at 100 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
