Nikita - Elton John

Nikita is one of Elton John's big hits from the 1980's. It comes from the album Ice On Fire from 1985 and is notable for it's synthesizer solo in the middle of the song which is different from the rest of the song.
In this cover I'm trying to capture the solo versions Elton has done over the years. The version I'm focusing on in particular is the version from Elton's 2001 solo concert in Ephesus, Turkey - the show can be found here on TH-cam.

Hey Nikita is it cold
In your little corner of the world
You could roll around the globe
And never find a warmer soul to know
Oh I saw you by the wall
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row
With eyes that looked like ice on fire
The human heart a captive in the snow
Oh Nikita you will never know, anything about my home
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Nikita I need you so
Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
Oh no, Nikita you'll never know
Do you ever dream of me
Do you ever see the letters that I write
When you look up through the wire
Nikita do you count the stars at night
And if there comes a time
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
And if you're free to make a choice
Just look towards the west and…

[@angtritran4865]

Can you do it in a different corner

[@lanelagore6419]

Any way you could make that into sheets ?

[@LimeCovers]

Sorry, I don't write sheet music. I play by ear.

[@JV-yo6qs]

The piano solo part is nicely done

[@markbra]

You play in a EJ cover band?

[@LimeCovers]

No, but have played a couple of his songs on stage!

[@deyviddechev3630]

[@alanarguelho]

Só o solo no meio que está fora do tempo da original. Fora isso mto bom...

[@user-de9jd2rg7s]
