Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][Am]
[F][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]When are you gonna come [G]down?
[C]When are you going to [F]land?
I [Bb]should have stayed on the [G]farm
I should have [C]listened to my old man
You [Dm]know you can't hold me forev[G]er
I [C]didn't sign up with [F]you
I'm [Bb]not a present for your f[G]riends to open
This [C]boy's too young to be singing

[Pre-chorus 1]
The [Ab]blu- [Bb]es
[Eb]ah, [Ab]ah[Fm][G]

[Chorus 1]
So [C]goodbye yellow brick [E]road
Where the [F]dogs of society [C]howl
You [A]can't plant me in your [Dm]penthouse
I'm [G]going back to my [C]plough[G]
[Am]Back to the howling old [E]owl in the woods
[F]Hunting the homy back [Ab]toad
Oh, [Bb]I've [C]finally de[G]cided
my [Am]future [Am]lies
Be[F]yond the yel[G]low brick [Ab]road[Bb]
[Eb]ah, [Ab]Ah[Fm][G][C]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]What do you think you'll [G]do then?
I [C]bet they'll shoot down the [F]plane
It'll [Bb]take you a couple of [G]vodka and tonics
To [C]set you on your feet again
[Dm]Maybe you'll get a re[G]placement
There's [C]plenty like me to be [F]found
[Bb]Mongrels who [G]ain't got a penny
[C]Sniffing for tidbits like you

[Pre-chorus 2]
On the [Ab]gro u[Bb]nd
[Eb]ah, [Ab]ah[Fm][G]

[Chorus 2]
So [C]goodbye yellow brick [E]road
Where the [F]dogs of society [C]howl
You [A]can't plant me in your [Dm]penthouse
I'm [G]going back to my [C]plough[G]
[Am]Back to the howling old [E]owl in the woods
[F]Hunting the homy back [Ab]toad
Oh, [Bb]I've [C]finally de[G]cided
my [Am]future [Am]lies
Be[F]yond the yel[G]low brick [Ab]ro a[Bb]d
[Eb]ah, [Ab]ah, a[Fm]h[G][C]
