A DANDELION DIES IN THE WIND Year: 1967 Album: None Writers: Elton John\ Bernie Taupin Am G See my eyes and I see my arms D Am The seagulls say you've gone F C It was just a game of let's pretend Bb C F F7 And I whistle to the waves that lend me tears F Dm A Purple clouds, golden rain, yesterday has gone Gm Bb C And a dandelion dies in the wind Am G If you're quick enough to rise D Am With the sleep still in your eyes F C You'll see the shadow of the sun above my mind Bb C F F7 I know that only you can help me now.... F Dm A Purple clouds, golden rain, yesterday has gone Gm Bb C And a dandelion dies in the wind D G/D But a dandelion sighs, and it tries to tell the wind A G F C That crying's not a bad thing, worrying is a sin Dm Bb If they sent a cloud from heaven A7 Dm I would ride into the skies Bb To escape all of my troubles A7 Dm C7 And to cast away your lies.... F Dm A Purple rains have turn to gold, the clouds of yesterday Gm Bb C And a dandelion dies in the wind Am G I see my eyes and I see my arms D Am The seagulls say you've gone F C It was just a game of let's pretend Bb C F F7 And I whistle to the waves that lend me tears F Dm A Purple clouds, golden rain, yesterday has gone Gm Bb C And a dandelion dies in the wind Gm Bb C And a dandelion dies in the wind Gm Bb C D And a dandelion dies in the wind...
