This is another one of my requests, thanks for putting up with all of them. Anyways, does anyone know where I can find a reasonable tablature or chords for a guitar part to Elton John's Benny and the Jets?

Doesn't have to be the exact part on the recording, especially since that'd be really boring to play for solo guitarist. Any help would be appreciated. I figuare someone must have a way of playing it that's easy to communicate, it's one of those songs.
