Rocket Man by Elton John bass tab (text):

Album: 
Tabbed by: Matt Outerson (mcooterson@hotmail.com)

This is a great song.  Elton John's bassist is quite amazing...
not just on this song...but on all of his songs!!

Standard Tuning
E, A, D, G for you beginners...;)

I like to play this with my fingers...but, with a pick or however will 
be up to you, of course.

Intro : Piano and singing for about 8 bars.  Come in when EJ sings
\"I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife...\"
Then...

...continue on and on and on until fade...just ad. lib with the
same notes as in the chorus!

/3\ = Triplet
h = half notes
s = sixteenth notes


I hope this helps...and I hope it's not tough to read or anything.
It's my first tab ever...so, email me some feedback.
I believe this is one of the first Rocketman tabs out there too.
So, ya...email me mcooterson@hotmail.com Thanks everyone.
