Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
(Elton John/Bernie Taupin)
F-F/Em-Dm-C-Bb-C-F
Gm Bb C
When are you gonna come down
Fm Fm/A Bb
When are you going to land
Eb C
I should have stayed on the farm
F F-F/Gm-F/A
I should have listened to my old man
Bb 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
This boy's too young to be singing the blues
Db Eb Ab~Fm Db C
F A
So goodbye yellow brick road
Bb F
Where the dogs of society howl
D Gm
You can't plant me in your penthouse
C F F/Em
I'm going back to my plough
Dm Am
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Bb Db
Hunting the horny back toad
F Am Dm
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Bb C Db Eb Ab~Fm Db C F
Beyond the yellow brick road
What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
