Intro: F# C#/F | Ebm Ebm/C#
       B B C#sus4 C#7 | F#

G#m                     C#    C#/F
When are you gonna come down,
F#           F#/Bb    B     B/F#
When are you going to land?
  E           E/B           C#7
I should have stayed on the farm,
            F#                      F# F#/Bb
Should have listened to my old man.

    G#m7           B         C#     C#7/F
You know you can’t hold me forever,
  F#          F#/Bb   B    B/F#
I didn’t sign up with you,
    E     E/B              C#         C#7
I’m not a present for your friends to open
     F#                            F#/E C#
This boy’s too young to be singing

Bridge:
       Bm7  Bm7/F# E  E/G#
   The blues…
   A  A/C#  D/F#  Bm  Bm/F#  C#/G# C#7/F
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus:
        F#                   Bb
     So goodbye yellow brick road,
               B               F#
     Where the dogs of society howl,
         Eb          Eb7        G#m
     You can’t plant me in your penthouse,
         C#/F      C#  C#/F F#    C#/F F#
     I’m going back to my plough.

     Ebm                     Bb
     Back to the howling old owl in the woods,
     B                      D
     Hunting the horny back toad,
     D   E    F#        C#/F     Ebm    C#sus2 
     Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies,
       B        C#           
     Beyond the yellow brick 

Bridge:
   Bm7  Bm7/F#  E  E/G#
   Road…
   A  A/C#  D/F#  Bm  Bm/F#  C#/G# C#7/F F#
   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:
       Bm7  Bm7/F# E  E/G#
   The ground…
   A  A/C#  D/F#  Bm  Bm/F#  C#/G# C#7/F
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus

Bridge:
   Bm7  Bm7/F#  E  E/G#
   Road…
   A  A/C#  D/F#  Bm  Bm/F#  C#/G# C#7/F F#
   Ah-ah-ah…
