[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

listened to my old man

Gm C

You know you can't hold me forever

[CHORUS]

F A7

So Goodbye yellow brick road

[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

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]
