Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

[intro]
F C Dm C A# C F (Hold last F for a whole bar)

[verse 1]
Gm                      C
When are you gonna come down
F                     A#
When are you going to land
  Gm                        C
I should have stayed on the farm, should have
F                  F
Listened to my old man
    Gm                        C
You know you can't hold me forever
  F                   A#
I didn't sign up with you
    D#                     C
I'm not a present for your friends to open
     F                     F
This boy's too young to be singing
    C#  D#   G#  C#   Bbm  C7
The blues... Ah...... Ah....

[chorus]
   F                    A7
So Goodbye yellow brick road
          A#              F
Where the dogs of society howl
    D7                     Gm
You can't plant me in your penthouse
    C                F
I'm going back to my plow
Dm                      A
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
A#                      C#
Hunting the horny black toad
C# D#   F         C/E      Dm       Dm/C
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
   A#      C            C#  D#
Beyond the yellow brick road ...
G#  C#  Bbm  C  F
Ah..... Ah......

[verse 2]
Gm                       C
What do you think you'll do then?
  F                      A#
I bet to shoot down your plane
      Gm                   C
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
   F                     F
To set you on your feet again
Gm                   C
Maybe you'll get a replacement
        F                    A#
There's plenty like me to be found
D#           C
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
F                         F
Sniffing for tidbits like you
       C#  D#    G#  C#  Bbm  C7
On the ground... Ah....  Ah....

[chorus]
   F                    A7
So Goodbye yellow brick road
          A#              F
Where the dogs of society howl
    D7                     Gm
You can't plant me in your penthouse
    C                F
I'm going back to my plow
Dm                      A
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
A#                      C#
Hunting the horny black toad
C# D#   F         C/E      Dm       Dm/C
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
   A#      C            C#  D#
Beyond the yellow brick road ...
G#  C#  Bbm  C  F
Ah..... Ah......
