Lyrics and Music by Bernie Taupin and Elton John

Intro: C G | Am Am7
       F F G G7 | C

Dm                      G
When are you gonna come down,
C                     F
When are you going to land?
  Bb                        G7
I should have stayed on the farm,
            C
Should have listened to my old man.

    Dm7            F         G      G7
You know you can’t hold me forever,
  C                   F
I didn’t sign up with you,
    Bb                     G          G7
I’m not a present for your friends to open
     C                                  G
This boy’s too young to be singing

Bridge:
       Fm7         Bb
   The blues…
   Eb       G#    Fm         G   G7
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus:
        C                    E
     So goodbye yellow brick road,
               F               C
     Where the dogs of society howl,
         A           A7         Dm
     You can’t plant me in your penthouse,
         G                 C      G   C
     I’m going back to my plough.

     Am                      E
     Back to the howling old owl in the woods,
     F                      G#
     Hunting the horny back toad,
         Bb   C         G        Am     G
     Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies,
       F        G
     Beyond the yellow brick

Bridge:
   Fm7          Bb
   Road…
   Eb       G#    Fm         G   G7    C
   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:
       Fm7         Bb
   The ground…
   Eb       G#    Fm         G   G7
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus

Bridge:
   Fm7          Bb
   Road…
   Eb       G#    Fm         G   G7    C
   Ah-ah-ah…
