Lyrics and Music by Bernie Taupin and Elton John

Intro: Eb Bb/D | Cm Cm/Bb
       G# G# Bbsus₄ Bb₇ | Eb

Fm                      Bb    Bb/D
When are you gonna come down,
Eb           Eb/G     G#    G#/Eb
When are you going to land?
  C#          C#/G#         Bb₇
I should have stayed on the farm,
            Eb                      Eb Eb/G
Should have listened to my old man.

    Fm₇            G#        Bb     Bb₇/D
You know you can’t hold me forever,
  Eb          Eb/G    G#   G#/Eb
I didn’t sign up with you,
    C#    C#/G#            Bb         Bb₇
I’m not a present for your friends to open
     Eb                            Eb/C# Bb
This boy’s too young to be singing

Bridge:
       G#m₇ G#m₇/Eb C# C#/F
   The blues…
   F# F#/Bb B/Eb  G#m G#m/Eb Bb/F Bb₇/D
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus:
        Eb                   G
     So goodbye yellow brick road,
               G#              Eb
     Where the dogs of society howl,
         C           C₇         Fm
     You can’t plant me in your penthouse,
         Bb/D      Bb  Bb/D Eb    Bb/D Eb
     I’m going back to my plough.

     Cm                      G
     Back to the howling old owl in the woods,
     G#                     B
     Hunting the horny back toad,
     B   C#   Eb        Bb/D     Cm     Bbsus₂ 
     Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies,
       G#       Bb           
     Beyond the yellow brick 

Bridge:
   G#m₇ G#m₇/Eb C# C#/F
   Road…
   F# F#/Bb B/Eb  G#m G#m/Eb Bb/F Bb₇/D Eb
   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:
       G#m₇ G#m₇/Eb C# C#/F
   The ground…
   F# F#/Bb B/Eb  G#m G#m/Eb Bb/F Bb₇/D
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus

Bridge:
   G#m₇ G#m₇/Eb C# C#/F
   Road…
   F# F#/Bb B/Eb  G#m G#m/Eb Bb/F Bb₇/D Eb
   Ah-ah-ah…
