Music by Elton John 
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin 
Available on the album Blue Moves 

G  Bm/F#  Em  G/D  C  G/B Am7  G/B  C   D 

G               Bm/F#    Em   G/D 
The last I heard of you 
                  C                       G/B                          Am7          C 
You were somewhere on a cruise in the Mediterranean 
G/D              Bm/F#  Em  G/D               C             G/B 
So imagine my surprise       to see you very much alive 
                            Am7    E7 
In the English rain again 

                                        Am 
And I can still recall wet afternoons 
C/G                                    D 
When we were small and simply childish 
G                  A/G                       D/A 
But you've created your own ghost 
                                          F#/Bb                     Dsus4   D 
And the need you have is more than most to hide it 

F              G                    F                                    G           C 
Oh, Chameleon, you're stealing your way back into my eyes 
D/C                              G/D 
Beyond a shadow of a doubt 
                       C/E                          D/F# 
You're a devil, you're a devil in disguise 
B                     Em                 A                Dsus4  D 
Do you really change me, or am I going crazy 
G                 Bm/D           C                           C/D                G 
Chameleon, Chameleon, Chameleon, you're free again my child 

I remember still those lazy summer days 
We'd kill out hunting danger 
And we were alien  to all outsiders 
We had no desire to talk to strangers 

C  Bb
