Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Elton John and Bernie Taupin


Intro: A

Bm7                     E     A                     D
When are you gonna come down? When are you going to land?
  G                         E                   A
I should have stayed on the farm, I should have listened to my old man
    Bm7                       E       A                     D
You know you can't hold me forever, I didn't sign up with you
    G                      E
I'm not a present for your friends to open
     A                                 Dm7 G    C  F  Dm7 E
This boy's too young to be singin' the blu-ues, ah-h, ah--h


   A                    C#7             D               A
So goodbye yellow brick road, where the dogs of society howl
    F#7                      Bm7          E                A (Amaj7)
You can't plant me in your penthouse, I'm goin' back to my plow
F#m                     C#               D                       F
Back to the howlin' old owl in the woods huntin' the horny black toad
    G    A                  F#m           D        E            Dm7 G
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies beyond the yellow brick ro--ad
C  F  Dm7 E  A
Ah-h, ah--h, ah


Bm7                      E          A                            D
What do you think you'll do then? I bet they shoot down your plane
      G                    E                   A
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics to get you on your feet again
Bm7                     E               A                      D
Maybe you'll get a replacement, there's plenty like me to be found
G            E                 A
Mongrels who ain't got a penny sniffin' for tidbits like you
       Dm7 G   C  F  Dm7 E
On the ground, ah-h, ah--h
