Lyrics and Music by Bernie Taupin and Elton John

Intro: F C | Dm Dm₇
       Bb Bb Csus₄ C₇ | F

Gm                      C        
When are you gonna come down,
F                     Bb        
When are you going to land?
  Eb                        C₇
I should have stayed on the farm,
            F                            
Should have listened to my old man.

    Gm₇            Bb        C      C₇  
You know you can’t hold me forever,
  F                   Bb       
I didn’t sign up with you,
    Eb                     C          C₇
I’m not a present for your friends to open
     F                                  C
This boy’s too young to be singing

Bridge:
       Bbm₇        Eb     
   The blues…
   Ab       Db    Bbm        C   C₇  
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus:
        F                    A
     So goodbye yellow brick road,
               Bb              F
     Where the dogs of society howl,
         D           D₇         Gm
     You can’t plant me in your penthouse,
         C                 F      C   F
     I’m going back to my plough.

     Dm                      A
     Back to the howling old owl in the woods,
     Bb                     Db
     Hunting the horny back toad,
         Eb   F         C        Dm     Csus₂ 
     Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies,
       Bb       C            
     Beyond the yellow brick 

Bridge:
   Bbm₇         Eb     
   Road…
   Ab       Db    Bbm        C   C₇    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:
       Bbm₇        Eb     
   The ground…
   Ab       Db    Bbm        C   C₇  
   Ah-ah-ah…

Chorus

Bridge:
   Bbm₇         Eb     
   Road…
   Ab       Db    Bbm        C   C₇    F
   Ah-ah-ah…
