Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu "Grey Seal" dari Elton John:

B                      D               G
Why’s it never light on my lawn
                      C                     G                 D
Why does it rain and never say good-day to the new-born
B                                    D                     G
On the big screen they showed us the sun
                  C              G           D
But not as bright in life as the real one
                C            G                 D
Its never quite the same as the real one
B                   F#
And tell me grey seal
                    A                   E
how does it feel to be so wise
B                        F#
To see through eyes
                 A              E
That only see what’s real
B F# A     E     B
Tell me grey seal
B                                D                 G
I never learned why meteors were formed
           C                  G                            D
I only farmed in schools that were so worn and torn
B                                  D       G
If anyone can cry then so can I
           C                        G    D
I read books and draw life from the eye
            C             G       D
All my life is drawings from the eye

Your mission bells were wrought by ancient men
The roots were formed by twisted roots
Your roots were twisted then
I was re-born before all life could die
The phoenix bird will leave this world to fly
If the phoenix bird can fly then so can I
