Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

F2 F2/E Dm C2   Bb2 Csus4 C F2
           Gm                  Gm7             C2     C7
           When are you gonna come down?
           F                     F7          Bb2   Bb2/A
           When are you going to land?
              Eb2             Eb2/D             C2
           I should have stayed on the farm
             C7                F                     F/E  F    F/E  F
           I should have listened to my old man

           You know you can't hold me forever
           I didn't sign up with you
           I'm not a present for your friends to open
                  F                            F/E  F
           This boy's too young to be singing

                                   Db2    Eb2  Ab  Ab/G  Db2   Db2/C
                            The blu~u~ues, ah aha ah ahhh
                            Db2 Db C7
                            Ahh ah ahhh

                                                 F2                                 A7
                                             So goodbye yellow brick road
                                                               Bb2                   F2   F2/E
                                             Where the dogs of society howl
                                                    D7                                Gm           Gm7
                                             You can't plant me in your penthouse
                                                   C2     C7               F2      F2/E
                                             I'm going back to my plough

                                             Dm                                  A7
                                             Back to the howling old owl in the woods
                                             Bb2                                 Db2
                                             Hunting the horny back toad
                                            Db2 Eb2 F2           F2/E       Dm           C2
                                             Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
                                                 Bb2         C2
                                             Beyond the yellow brick

                                                              Db2    Eb2  Ab  Ab/G  Db2   Db2/C
                                                              Ro~oa~oad, ah aha ah ahhh
                                                             Db2 Db C7     F2   F2/E F2
                                                              Ahh ah ahhh, ah

           What do you think you'll do then?
           I bet they 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 grou~ou~ound, ah aha ah ahhh
                            Ahh ah ahhh

                                             So goodbye yellow brick road
                                             Where the dogs of society howl
                                             You can't plant me in your penthouse
                                             I'm going back to my plough

                                             Back to the howling old owl in the woods
                                             Hunting the horny back toad
                                             Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
                                             Beyond the yellow brick

                                                              Ro~oa~oad, ah aha ah ahhh
