This is an intersting piece that is very accurate to the original piece. It is hard to get a 100% accurate rendition of this piece as Elton does a lot of ad lib when performing. This piece is mildly challenging and poses a number of interesting chord changes throughout that makes it a great piece to play. Tempo changes constantly throughout the piece which can be rather difficult to follow if the piece is not well known. However, I definitely recommend listening to this piece and learning it as it is not only an Elton classic but a brilliantly written, solemn piece with many dynamic musical changes that is a good test to any keen musician!

This is darn close to Elton's version. You can play it as is and you will sound fantastic. It sounds very, very good. It is a beautiful and emotional piece of music that is absolutely a joy to play. You'll want to also purchase "Loves Lie Bleeding", of course, which has the piano solo just about verbatim.

This EJ classic is well written, but youll have to improvise to make it sound more like the originally recorded piece. Easy to play.
