Intro: B F#/Bb | G#m G#m/F#
       E E F#sus4 F#7 | B

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

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

Bridge:
       Em7  Em7/B  A  A/C#
   The blues…
   D  D/F#  G/B   Em  Em/B   F#/C# F#7/Bb
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus:
        B                    Eb
     So goodbye yellow brick road,
               E               B
     Where the dogs of society howl,
         G#          G#7        C#m
     You can’t plant me in your penthouse,
         F#/Bb     F#  F#/Bb B    F#/Bb B
     I’m going back to my plough.

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

Bridge:
   Em7  Em7/B   A  A/C#
   Road…
   D  D/F#  G/B   Em  Em/B   F#/C# F#7/Bb B
   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:
       Em7  Em7/B  A  A/C#
   The ground…
   D  D/F#  G/B   Em  Em/B   F#/C# F#7/Bb
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus

Bridge:
   Em7  Em7/B   A  A/C#
   Road…
   D  D/F#  G/B   Em  Em/B   F#/C# F#7/Bb B
   Ah-ah-ah…
