I noticed TINMAN posted the TAB for this solo and i was asked to learn it for a performance but noticed a few errors/ notes that don't match the recording from Elton John<br />so here is my transcription/interpretation, I hope this is helpful and fun to play for y'all.<br /><br />~ = trill by tapping the button (you can do this on most of the notes but the ones i've marked with this are where Stevie does it in the recording.<br />- = draw<br />  = blow (whenever the draw symbol isn't there it means blow)<br />* = press the button (for the whole duration of the note)<br /><br /><br />5, -4, 5, -4~, -3<br /><br />3, -3, -3, 3,      -4,  -4,  -4,  -4<br /><br />-4, -3~, 3, 4, -3, 3, 3, 2<br /><br /><br />  -3, *-3,       -5, 6<br /><br />7, -7, *-7, -8, -9, 10, 11, -11<br /><br />-11~, -11~, -11~<br /><br />11, *-10, 10~, -9<br /><br />11, -10, -10~, 11, 10, -9~, 9<br /><br />-7~, 7, 6, 7, -5~, 5<br /><br />6!<br /><br />Listen to the song to get the timing right and HAVE FUN!
