One of the better renditions (if you have a nice wavetable) of Elton John's version.  I seriously considered giving it the highest rating.  As requested by Bragi Thor Valsson, you must email the author to request a copy.  There is however a short demo available.

Almost exactly the same as the version above, except with lyrics embedded (by Thomas Fosseli) for those who can see them.  There seems to have been a slight change though, most likely by accident.

Again, almost the same version as above, but with some minor changes.
