Burn Down the Mission LIVE PIANO TRANSCRIPTION

[@andrewblackburn1426]

Love the look on Elton's face at 5:50 - he knows how badass this sounds. Great work with the transcription!

[@luancamargo832]

Just the lyrics to train to sing too 😁 Burn Down The Mission You tell me there's an angel in your tree Did he say he'd come to call on me For things are getting desperate in our home Living in the parish of the restless folks I know Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps It's time we put the flame torch to their keep Burn down the mission If we're gonna stay alive Watch the black smoke fly to heaven See the red flame light the sky Burn down the mission Burn it down to stay alive It's our only chance of living Take all you need to live inside Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today My wife cried when they came to take me away But what more could I do just to keep her warm Than burn burn burn burn down the mission walls Now everybody bring your family down to the riverside Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps It's time we put the flame torch to their keep Burn down the mission If we're gonna stay alive Watch the black smoke fly to heaven See the red flame light the sky Burn down the mission Burn it down to stay alive It's our only chance of living Take all you need to live inside

Thank you

[@johnbenedictsantos6219]

Thank you for this transcript! I've always wanted to see what Elton played when he improvised and it's amazing. Thank you, kind sir!

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

Thanks so much, even if you don't play piano it is pretty interesting to watch.

[@colbybelk]

OMG I love this channel so much.

[@gurupadmasambawa5626]

Thank you Sir, You are doing fantastic job. God bless You

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

Thanks so much! There will be much more to come very soon.

[@Gamemaster365-6]

Thank you so much

[@iggyp4390]

Wow! Thank you!! This was such a good performance. If the spirit ever moved you, it would be awesome if you could do “Have Mercy on the Criminal.” I always love the breakdown for that, because it sounds almost classical and it complements Davey’s guitar so well. He gave an excellent performance in Berlin 2017

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

Iggy P you are right that is such a great song. It has so much heart and soul in it, I will definitely put it int the queue for future videos. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video.

[@BenjiDarius]

@@chrisbarkerpiano Yes this would be amazing

[@daniellowther4863]

thanks for this i was wondering if u could look at eltons 17 11 70 version of this since it is such and amazing performance and i would love to learn the improv parts

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

This definitely was a great performance, I will definitely consider it for a future video. Thanks for watching and for your encouragement.

[@catherinel5495]

You are the best thanks so much

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

Thanks for the support!

[@T._Matthew_Phillips]

Two issues: On the chorus, when he sings, "Burn Down the Mission," Elton plays the Db chord, but with an Ab in the bass, (i.e., 2nd inversion). Also, when he modulates up a whole step, with Elton playing the Eb chord, he plays a Bb in the bass, (2nd inversion). The transcription should reflect this. :)

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

Thanks Matthew, I will check the MIDI file and fix it if necessary. Unfortunately the video won't reflect the changes.

[@T._Matthew_Phillips]

@@chrisbarkerpiano Rock n roll!! :)

[@virginiamb]

..THANK YOU .

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

You're so welcome, glad it is helpful.

[@Teo-vy4vj]

Your work is incredible? How can you do that, have you got absolute pitch? Thanks for everything you do, your channel is amazing

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

Thanks so much for your kind words, I love that people like you are able to find these transcriptions helpful. I do not have perfect, absolute, or relative pitch :-) I do have a fairly good ear but most of it is really paying attention to detail and not settling for okay work. Keep watching for more!

[@catherinel5495]

Could you do one for Razor Face by Elton??

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

That's actually a great suggestion, I have always loved that piano intro especially.

[@01mankey]

What kind of concert?

[@MAMODMAN95]

Great transcription! How do I download the transcription?

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

Thanks so much, the download link is now in the description...I forgot to link it 😁

[@MAMODMAN95]

Chris Barker Piano brilliant! Always look forward to your videos ! Stay safe

[@arachnidantics2370]

could you do "I'm Still Standing" based off of the Ephesus performance with the sheet music?

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

I'll take a look at it and see, sheet music is another subject. I have had a hard time justifying the time to make that happen but hopefully in the future if enough people are wanting print music I can provide it. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@colbybelk]

Yes please do Mission from the Ephesus show!

[@BenjiDarius]

Hello! If you're still looking, Aldy did a tutorial for the Ephesus's version of Im Still Standing kzbin.info/www/bejne/n33VoGyea854p6s

[@catherinel5495]

Could you possibly do the solo for Bennie and the jets from this show kzbin.info/www/bejne/q565pJKqo515aLs the song starts at 19:45

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

I will check it out for sure, I haven't tackled this song yet and this might be a good one to take on. Thank you for the suggestion!
