   Phew, first tab I've made in months. Great song from the 70's
   that was used in the film Almost Famous. Many people requested
   this a few months ago so I decided to tab it now, when people
   have already found the chords somewhere else :)
   Lots of chords, but don't be intimidated, it's an easy song to
   play. I got the basics for this tab at:

   So Big Thanx to them, lots of other Elton John songs there,
   check it out.

   PRE-CHORUS:
   -----------
   Ab              Bb
     But oh how it feels so real,
   Gm7               Cm
     lying here with no one near
   Ab                    Bb
   Only you  and you can hear me
               G/B     G/B*
    when I say softly, slowly
   
   
   In the chorus the C is probably supposed to be C/E.
   I just use the regular C, but if you wanna use C/E
   it's played either like this (032010) or (xx2010).
   
   CHORUS:
   -------
   F        C           Dm       C
