Verse 1:
Em A
When are you gonna come down?
D G
When are you going to land?
C A
I should have stayed on the farm, I should have
D D
listened to my old man.
Em A
You know you can't hold me forever,
D G
I didn't sign up with you.
C A
I'm not a present for your friends to open,
D D
This boy's too young to be singing the
Bb C F Bb Bb A7
blues... Ah...... Ah....
Chorus:
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,
A D — quick A
I'm going back to my plough.
Bm F#
Back to the howling old owl in the woods,
G Bb
Hunting the horny back toad.
Bb—C D A Bm Bm7
... Oh I've finally decided, my future lies,
G A
Beyond the yellow brick
Bb C F Bb Bb A D
road... Ah..... Ah......
Verse 2:
What do you think you'll do then?
I bet they'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 tit—bits like you on the
ground... Ah.... Ah....
Repeat Chorus
