Goodbye yellow brick road (midi)    (sample)

 

    D A  Bm A  G A D ~

 

       Em                                     A           D                               G

1. When are you gonna come down, when are you going to land,

        Em                                     A                           D

    I should have stayed on the farm, should have  listened to my old man.

             Em                                    A         D                           G

    You know you can't hold me forever, I didn't sign up with you,

           C                                 A

    I'm not a present for your friends to open,

             D                                                 Bb-C   F-Bb   Bb-A7

    this boy's too young to be singing the blu..es, a.....h,  a.......h.

 

        D                               F#                     G                      D

So goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl,

        B7                              Em                    A                           D

you can't plant me in your penthouse, I'm going back to my plough.

 Bm                                F#     G                                  Bb

Back to the howling old owl, hunting the horny black toad.

  C        D         Bb             Bm       D

Oh I've finally decided my future lies

     G                               Bb-C     F-Bb   Bb-A7  - D

beyond the yellow brick ro...ad,  a.....h, a.......h.

 

       Em                               A               D                                          G

2. What do you think you'll do then? I bet that`ll shoot down your plane,

         Em                             A                             D

    it'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics to set you on your feet again.

     Em                             A                            D                            G

    Maybe you'll get a replacement, there's plenty like me to be found,

       C                    A

    mongrels who ain't got a penny,

        D                                              Bb-C    F-Bb    Bb-A7

    sniffing for titbits like you on the ground, a......h, a........h.
