[Intro]
D A Bm A G A D (Hold last for a whole bar)

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

[Chorus]
     D                               F#
So goodbye yellow brick road
                  G                   D
Where the dogs of society howl
        B                                  Em
You can't plant me in your penthouse
       A                         D
I'm going back to my plow
Bm                                   F#
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
G                                 A#
Hunting the horny back toad
A#  C  D           A              Bm
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
    G            A                  A# C
Beyond the yellow brick road ...
F   A# Gm A D
Ah..... Ah......

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

[Chorus]
       D                              F#
So goodbye yellow brick road
                   G                  D
Where the dogs of society howl
         B                               Em
You can't plant me in your penthouse
       A                         D
I'm going back to my plow
Bm                                 F#
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
G                                  A#
Hunting the horny back toad
A#  C   D          A              Bm
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
    G           A                   A# C
Beyond the yellow brick road ...
F A# Gm A D
Ah..... Ah......
