[INTRO]
F C Dm C Bb C F (Hold last F for a whole bar)
[VERSE 1]
Gm C
When are you gonna come down
F Bb
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 Bb
I didn't sign up with you
Eb C
I'm not a present for your friends to open
F F
This boy's too young to be singing the
Db Eb Ab Db Db C7
blues... Ah...... Ah....
[CHORUS]
F A7
So Goodbye yellow brick road
Bb 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
Bb Db
Hunting the horny black toad
Db Eb F C Dm F
... Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Bb C
Beyond the yellow brick
Db Eb Ab Db Db C F
road... Ah..... Ah......
[VERSE 2]
What do you think you'll do then?
I bet to shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
to set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for titbits like you on the
ground... Ah.... Ah....
[REPEAT CHORUS]
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ELTON JOHN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
