Lyrics and Music by Bernie Taupin and Elton John

Intro: Bb F/A | Gm Gm/F
       Eb Eb Fsus₄ F₇ | Bb

Cm                      F     F/A
When are you gonna come down,
Bb           Bb/D     Eb    Eb/Bb
When are you going to land?
  G#          G#/Eb         F₇
I should have stayed on the farm,
            Bb                      Bb Bb/D
Should have listened to my old man.

    Cm₇            Eb        F      F₇/A
You know you can’t hold me forever,
  Bb          Bb/D    Eb   Eb/Bb
I didn’t sign up with you,
    G#    G#/Eb            F          F₇
I’m not a present for your friends to open
     Bb                            Bb/G# F
This boy’s too young to be singing

Bridge:
       Ebm₇ Ebm₇/Bb G# G#/C
   The blues…
   C# C#/F  F#/Bb Ebm Ebm/Bb F/C F₇/A
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus:
        Bb                   D
     So goodbye yellow brick road,
               Eb              Bb
     Where the dogs of society howl,
         G           G₇         Cm
     You can’t plant me in your penthouse,
         F/A       F   F/A Bb     F/A Bb
     I’m going back to my plough.

     Gm                      D
     Back to the howling old owl in the woods,
     Eb                     F#
     Hunting the horny back toad,
     F#  G#   Bb        F/A      Gm     Fsus₂ 
     Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies,
       Eb       F            
     Beyond the yellow brick 

Bridge:
   Ebm₇ Ebm₇/Bb G# G#/C
   Road…
   C# C#/F  F#/Bb Ebm Ebm/Bb F/C F₇/A  Bb
   Ah-ah-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.

May 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

Bridge:
       Ebm₇ Ebm₇/Bb G# G#/C
   The ground…
   C# C#/F  F#/Bb Ebm Ebm/Bb F/C F₇/A
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus

Bridge:
   Ebm₇ Ebm₇/Bb G# G#/C
   Road…
   C# C#/F  F#/Bb Ebm Ebm/Bb F/C F₇/A  Bb
   Ah-ah-ah…
