Lyrics and Music by Bernie Taupin and Elton John


Intro: D A/C# | Bm Bm/A
       G G Asus4 A7 | D

Em                      A     A/C#
When are you gonna come down,
D            D/F#     G     G/D
When are you going to land?
  C           C/G           A7
I should have stayed on the farm,
            D                       D D/F#
Should have listened to my old man.

    Em7            G         A      A7/C#
You know you can’t hold me forever,
  D           D/F#    G    G/D
I didn’t sign up with you,
    C     C/G              A          A7
I’m not a present for your friends to open
     D                             D/C  A
This boy’s too young to be singing

Bridge:
       Gm7  Gm7/D  C  C/E
   The blues…
   F  F/A   Bb/D  Gm  Gm/D   A/E A7/C#
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus:
        D                    F#
     So goodbye yellow brick road,
               G               D
     Where the dogs of society howl,
         B           B7         Em
     You can’t plant me in your penthouse,
         A/C#      A   A/C# D     A/C# D
     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/C#     Bm     Asus2 
     Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies,
       G        A            
     Beyond the yellow brick 

Bridge:
   Gm7  Gm7/D   C  C/E
   Road…
   F  F/A   Bb/D  Gm  Gm/D   A/E A7/C# D
   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:
       Gm7  Gm7/D  C  C/E
   The ground…
   F  F/A   Bb/D  Gm  Gm/D   A/E A7/C#
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus

Bridge:
   Gm7  Gm7/D   C  C/E
   Road…
   F  F/A   Bb/D  Gm  Gm/D   A/E A7/C# D
   Ah-ah-ah…
