Verse 1:
E minorEm A augmentedA
When are you going to come down?
D MajorD G+G
When are you going to land?
C majorC A augmentedA
I should have stayed on the farm,
A augmentedA D MajorD
I should have listened to my old man.
E minorEm A augmentedA
You know you can't hold me forever,
D MajorD G+G
I didn't sign up with you.
C majorC A augmentedA
I'm not a present for your friends to open,
D MajorD
This boy's too young to be singing
Bridge:
G minorGm C majorC
The blu-u-ues.
FF Bb majorBb
Aah aah aah aah
G minorGm A augmentedA
aah aah aah
Chorus:
D MajorD F#F#
So goodbye yellow brick road,
G+G D MajorD
Where the dogs of society howl.
BB E minorEm
You can't plant me in your penthouse,
A augmentedA D MajorD
I'm going back to my plough.
B minorBm F#F#
Back to the howling old owl in the woods,
G+G Bb majorBb
Hunting the horny back toad.
C majorC D MajorD
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
G+G G minorGm C majorC
Beyond the yellow brick road
FF Bb majorBb
Aah aah aah aah
G minorGm A augmentedA
aah aah aah
D MajorD
aah
Verse 2:
E minorEm A augmentedA
What do you think you'll do then?
D MajorD G+G
I bet that'll shoot down your plane.
C majorC A augmentedA
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
D MajorD
To set you on your feet again
E minor 7Em7 A augmentedA
Maybe you'll get a replacement,
D MajorD G+G
There's plenty like me to be found.
C majorC A augmentedA
Mongrels, who ain't got a penny,
G+G A augmentedA G minorGm C majorC
Sniffing for tid-bits like you on the ground
FF Bb majorBb
Aah aah aah aah
G minorGm A augmentedA
aah aah aah
D MajorD
