[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

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
G A#
Hunting the horny back toad

Oh I've finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road ...

Ah..... Ah......

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

Sniffing for tidbits like you

On the ground... Ah.... Ah....

You can't plant me in your penthouse

Hunting the horny back toad

Oh I've finally decided my future lies
