Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

[Intro]
F C/E Dm Dm/C Bb Bb/C C F (Hold last F for a whole bar)

[Verse 1]
Gm C
When are you gonna come down
F Bb
When are you going to land
Eb C
I should have stayed on the farm, should have
F F
Listened to my old man
Gm C
You know you can’t hold me forever
F Bb
I didn’t sign up with you
Eb C
I’m not a present for your friends to open
F F
This boy’s too young to be singing
Db Eb Ab Db Bbm C7
The blues… Ah…… Ah….

[Chorus]
F A7
So goodbye yellow brick road
Bb F
Where the dogs of society howl
D7 Gm
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
C F
I’m going back to my plow
Dm A
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Bb Db
Hunting the horny back toad
Db Eb F C/E Dm Dm/C
Oh I’ve finally decided my future lies
Bb Bb/C C Db Eb
Beyond the yellow brick road …
Ab Db Bbm C F
Ah….. Ah……

[Verse 2]
Gm C
What do you think you’ll do then?
F Bb
I bet they’ll shoot down the plane
Eb C
It’ll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
F F
To set you on your feet again
Gm C
Maybe you’ll get a replacement
F Bb
There’s plenty like me to be found
Eb C
Mongrels who ain’t got a penny
F F
Sniffing for tidbits like you
Db Eb Ab Db Bbm C7
On the ground… Ah…. Ah….

[Chorus]
F A7
So goodbye yellow brick road
Bb F
Where the dogs of society howl
D7 Gm
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
C F
I’m going back to my plow
Dm A
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Bb Db
Hunting the horny back toad
Db Eb F C/E Dm Dm/C
Oh I’ve finally decided my future lies
Bb Bb/C C Db Eb
Beyond the yellow brick road …
Ab Db Bbm C F
Ah….. Ah……
