Crystal
by Elton John
from the album Too Low for Zero
For the intro and instrumental parts, I recommend playing around with a Cm harmonic scale (include B natural)

Cm
We're caught up in a web, you and I
Eb/G Ab
Since Crystal came between us
Fm Cm
The knots of friendship seem to be untied
Cm
And it hurts me most to cheat and that's no lie
Eb/G Ab
She can swing us both forever
Fm G7 Cm
In the long run she's the one who must decide
[Chorus]
Ab Eb
And if she leaves me handle her with care
Bb
Don't hurt little Crystal
Ab Eb
And if she calls you long distance just be there
Bb
Oh Crystal
Cm Cm(maj7)/B
The world is your oyster, you're a pearl
Cm7/Bb F7/A
But he's a jewel and my friend
Ab Bb Eb
I'm sure that in the end, Crystal you'll be his little girl
Fm7 Ab Bb Eb
Oh Cry-stal
[Verse]
Cm
You're stronger than me but I'm sure
Eb/G Ab
That the fight would fall to no one
Fm Cm
The cold hard truth is stronger than us all
Cm
And it breaks my heart to see us go this far
Eb/G Ab
We're just captives in our separate cells
Fm G7 Cm
And without her there's no peace behind these bars
[Chorus]
Ab Eb
And if she leaves me handle her with care
Bb
Don't hurt little Crystal
Ab Eb
And if she calls you long distance just be there
Bb
Oh Crystal
Cm Cm(maj7)/B
The world is your oyster, you're a pearl
