    This chord chart is pretty mangled. It jumps back & forth between calling it Eb & D# -- it's pretty confusing. Also, there's a B# in there too? haha. Love the site, but this one is tough to follow along with

    Lol, yeah this one is hard to follow... I must have been dozy when I put this one up haha! I'll simplify it and re-post. Let me know if you need this for a gig or something and I'll put higher priority on reviewing it. Thanks! Marcel

    I would sincerely love it if you could clean this one up! I love this song & want to learn it so badly!

    There we go, months later the song has finally been corrected. Sorry for taking forever! Enjoy performing this amazing song - I sure do! mg

    I believe this is written out one half step higher than Elton does it. Check me on that.

    Just a note: B# = C...

    I just jammed it along with the recording on GYBR and it was in the same key. Either way now that you have a reference you can transpose it into any key you would like to sing it in :)

    My 2 cents on the chart and comments: The final resolving chord is Eb, so it makes sense to consider Eb the key the whole song is in (this is the record key) Therefore there should be no sharps,all flats, making the intro chord Cb/Eb. Beyond that I think the chords were all pretty close ( I prefer Fm7 to straight Fm in most places but no big deal) however in the outro I think that the A#m and D#m chords are actually Gb maj7 chords With all that in mind, I humbly submit this version: Cb/Eb Hello, baby hello Db Haven't seen your face for a while Abm Gb6 Have you quit doing time for me, Ebm Bb7 Or are you still the same spoiled child? Cb/Eb Hello, I said hello Db Is this the only place you thought to go Abm Gb6 Am I the only man you ever had Ebm Bb7D# Eb Ab Bb Or am I just the last surviving friend that you know Fm7 Bb7 Harmony and me Eb Cm We're pretty good company Fm7 Bb7 Looking for an island Eb In our boat upon the sea Fm7 Bb7 Harmony, gee I really love you Eb Cm And I want to love you forever Fm7 Bb Eb And dream of the never, never, never leaving harmony Cb/Eb Hello, baby hello Db Open up your heart and let your feelings flow Abm Gb6 You're not unlucky knowing me Ebm Bb7 Keeping the speed real slow Gb6 Db In any case I set my own pace Bb7 Eb Ab Bb By stealing the show, say hello, hello [CHORUS] Gm/D Cm Eb/Bb Never Leaving Harmony Ab6 G+ G Fm7 /Eb Gbmaj7 Harmony, Harmony, Harmony, Harmony Ab6 Gbmaj7 Ab Eb Harmony, Harmony, Harmony, Aah ahh

    The chord spacings moved when I submitted this, but you get the idea

  • Pete Wilson · 2014-01-13

    2 corrections: the D# in the 2nd verse is a typo. in the outro, the 2nd-to-last "harmony" mg had a Ebm, but I thought it was Gbmaj7; I think we were both right and it is an Ebm9....basically a Gbmaj7 with an Eb Bass BTW...thanks for a great site!

  • Shaun · 2018-04-09

    You are correct, The actual chord progression is Ebm, Db, Abm, Gb, Ebm
