When are you gonna come down

I should have stayed on the farm

This boy's too young to be singing the blues

  E MajorE          G#G#
So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You can't plant me in your penthouse
  BB        E MajorE
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
A augmentedA           C majorC
Hunting the horny back toad

Oh I've finally decided my future lies
 A augmentedA    BB      A minorAm D MajorD G+G C majorC A minorAm BB E MajorE
Beyond the yellow brick road

F# minorF#m           BB
What do you think you'll do then
   E MajorE              A augmentedA
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
 D MajorD             BB
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
  E MajorE
To set you on your feet again

F# minorF#m          BB
Maybe you'll get a replacement
    E MajorE          A augmentedA
There's plenty like me to be found
D MajorD      BB
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
E MajorE                  A minorAm D MajorD G+G C majorC A minorAm BB
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

  E MajorE          G#G#
So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You can't plant me in your penthouse
  BB        E MajorE
I'm going back to my plough

C# minorC#m           G#G#
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
A augmentedA           C majorC
Hunting the horny back toad

Oh I've finally decided my future lies
 A augmentedA    BB      A minorAm D MajorD G+G C majorC A minorAm BB E MajorE
Beyond the yellow brick road

E MajorE
Beyond the yellow brick road
