[INTRO]

F C Dm C Bb 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

  Gm                        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 the

Db  Eb   Ab  Db   Db  C7    

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 black toad

Db  Eb      F          C       Dm         F

... Oh I've finally decided my future lies

   Bb      C  

Beyond the yellow brick

Db  Eb  Ab  Db  Db  C  F

road... Ah..... Ah......

[VERSE 2]

What do you think you'll do then?

I bet to 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 titbits like you on the

ground... Ah.... Ah....

[REPEAT CHORUS]
