Intro: G# Eb/G | Fm Fm/Eb
       C# C# Ebsus4 Eb7 | G#

Bbm                     Eb    Eb/G
When are you gonna come down,
G#           G#/C     C#    C#/G#
When are you going to land?
  F#          F#/C#         Eb7
I should have stayed on the farm,
            G#                      G# G#/C
Should have listened to my old man.

    Bbm7           C#        Eb     Eb7/G
You know you can’t hold me forever,
  G#          G#/C    C#   C#/G#
I didn’t sign up with you,
    F#    F#/C#            Eb         Eb7
I’m not a present for your friends to open
     G#                            G#/F# Eb
This boy’s too young to be singing

Bridge:
       C#m7 C#m7/G# F# F#/Bb
   The blues…
   B  B/Eb  E/G#  C#m C#m/G# Eb/Bb Eb7/G
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus:
        G#                   C
     So goodbye yellow brick road,
               C#              G#
     Where the dogs of society howl,
         F           F7         Bbm
     You can’t plant me in your penthouse,
         Eb/G      Eb  Eb/G G#    Eb/G G#
     I’m going back to my plough.

     Fm                      C
     Back to the howling old owl in the woods,
     C#                     E
     Hunting the horny back toad,
     E   F#   G#        Eb/G     Fm     Ebsus2 
     Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies,
       C#       Eb           
     Beyond the yellow brick 

Bridge:
   C#m7 C#m7/G# F# F#/Bb
   Road…
   B  B/Eb  E/G#  C#m C#m/G# Eb/Bb Eb7/G G#
   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:
       C#m7 C#m7/G# F# F#/Bb
   The ground…
   B  B/Eb  E/G#  C#m C#m/G# Eb/Bb Eb7/G
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus

Bridge:
   C#m7 C#m7/G# F# F#/Bb
   Road…
   B  B/Eb  E/G#  C#m C#m/G# Eb/Bb Eb7/G G#
   Ah-ah-ah…
