Intro: D A/C# Bm D/A G A7 D
Em Em/G A7
When are you gonna come down
D D/F# G
When are you going to land
C C/G A7
I should have stayed on the farm
D
I should have listened to my old man
Em Em/G A7
You know you can't hold me forever
D D/F# G
I didn't sign up with you
C C/G A7
I'm not a present for your friends to open
D Bb C F Bb Gm A7
This boy's too young to be singing the blues
D F#7
So goodbye yellow brick road
G D
Where the dogs of society howl
B7 Em
You can't plant me in your penthouse
A7 D
I'm going back to my plough
Bm F#7
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
G Bb ....
Hunting the horny back toad
Bb Bb/A D A/C# Bm D/A
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
G A7 Bb C F Bb Gm A7 D....
Beyond the yellow brick road
Em Em/G A7
What do you think you'll do then
D D/F# G
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
C C/G A7
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
D
To set you on your feet again
Em A7
Maybe you'll get a replacement
D G
There's plenty like me to be found
C C/G A7
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
D Bb C F Bb Gm A7
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
D F#7
So goodbye yellow brick road
G D
Where the dogs of society howl
B7 Em
You can't plant me in your penthouse
A7 D
I'm going back to my plough
Bm F#7
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
G Bb ....
Hunting the horny back toad
Bb Bb/A D A/C# B D/A
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
G A7 Bb C F Bb Gm A7 D....
Beyond the yellow brick road
