Elton's guitar player uses this pattern throughout the breaks between verses.
He mixes it up with different speeds and rhythms but that's the gist of it.
Don't copy him, play it your way! Here's the chords and changes:
I was justified when I was five
Raising cane, I spit in your eye
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back
Riff 1 x 2
Eat meat on Friday that's alright
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social do's
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch, oh the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch, I can bitch, `Cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move
The things that I do, oh
Riff 1 x 4
I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don't like those, my God, what's that
Oh it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back
Riff 1 x 2
Musical break, play verse chords
Riff 1 x 2

Bitch, Bitch, The Bitch is Back
