Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Tab

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Beats on eighths are marked "+". Let ring. Use thumb-fretting. Play bass quarters with your right-hand thumb and insert melody/harmony notes. The chord names above the tab lines indicate the left-hand position. "!" marks chords with bar/half-bar shape. Play with swinging (triplet) feel. Mind the syncopated early chord changes.
