Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

F   C/E   Dm  F/C   Bb   F/C C/E  F

Gm7          Bb         C
When are you gonna come down
F            F/A      Bb
When are you going to land
   Eb                       C
I should have stayed on the farm
              F
I should have listened to my old man

    Gm7           Bb         C
You know you can't hold me forever
  F         F/A       Bb
I didn't sign up with you
    Eb                     C
I'm not a present for your friends to open
     F                                 Bbm7  Eb  Ab  Db Bbm7  C
This boy's too young to be singing the blues     Ah

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

Dm                      A
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Bb                     Db
Hunting the horny back toad
   Eb   F         C/E      Dm     F/C
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
  Bb      Bb/C  C       Bbm7   Eb  Ab  Db  Bbm7    C  F
Beyond the yellow brick road        Ah

What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll 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 ground
