Verse 1
[Gm]When are you gonna come [C]down
[F]When are you going to [Bb]land
I [Eb]should have stayed on the [C]farm, should have
[F]Listened to my old [F]man
You [Gm]know you can't hold me [C]forever
I [F]didn't sign up with [Bb]you

This [F]boy's too young to be [F]singing
The [Bbm/Db]blues [Eb]..... [Ab][Db]Ah..... [Bbm][C7]Ah.....
Chorus
So [F]goodbye yellow brick [A7]road
Where the [Bb]dogs of society [F]howl
You [D7]can't plant me in your [Gm]penthouse
I'm [C]going back to my [F]plough
[Dm]Back to the howling old [A]owl in the woods

[Gm]What do you think you'll [C]do then?

It'll [Eb]take you a couple of [C]vodka and tonics
To [F]set you on your feet [F]again
[Gm]Maybe you'll get a [C]replacement
There's [F]plenty like me to be [Bb]found

[F]Sniffing for tidbits like [F]you
On the [Bbm/Db][Eb]ground..... [Ab][Db]Ah..... [Bbm][C7]Ah.....
Chorus
So [F]goodbye yellow brick [A7]road

[Dm]Back to the howling old [A]owl in the woods
[Bb]Hunting the horny back [Db]toad
